Can a horse win a race without a jockey? January 19th, 2010 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

When i ask this question i want to know does anyone know of a race where a horse has run without a jockey from beginning to end…..meaning he had no jockey at any point in the race not even the starting gate and still ran and won? And also i do know they get DQ’ed without a jockey but i would like to view a race even with the DQ of a horse out running the other jockeys, and winning although the horse is disqualified.

In horse racing, does a jockey typically race at the same venue on a regular basis? January 3rd, 2010 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

Do jockey’s listed at let’s say Gulfstream always race there? What about the horses that they ride, do they travel to various venues to race or stay at the same one for a while?
