The "perception" that punters are being swayed one way from a tipping perspective but the agent may  (I am not casting aspersions at anyone) know something having secured the ride for their rider that should sway their opinion also as a tipping analyst. 

Punter beware from someone on TV tipping horses.

As an example , an agent that has a very popular jockey who can be a bit picky and choosy about rides is offered a number of rides , secures one based on info from trainer then goes on a tipping show and tips out something else , or an agent knows something about a ride but talks up others whilst on TV to move $ onto another horse that isn't the one they may or may not have a had a bet on, that may not happen but it certainly opens up a world of possibility. 

Do you not feel the same way when they interview a trainer or a jockey? Do you think they are always upfront about what they actually see as the chance of their horses? The same "perception" would have to apply to them. 

Other people in media also get access to inside information, journalists, race commentators (Not only jockey agents). Does the same "perception" not apply to them also. We would end up with a racing channel that had no presenters, no jockeys talking and no trainers talking. Maybe no comments outside of the commentary from the commentator. Because the "perception" of them all is that the possibility exists that everything they say has an ulterior motive.

The good part of that would be we'd just get pictures (with or without commentary) - would suit many perfectly

i adopt a very effective IMS (Information Management System) for Trackside TV. It's called the MUTE button...I use it as soon as I hear these voices: Bevan Sweeney, Tony Lee, Cameron Shaw, Mark Cookson, Aidan Rodley.
I will listen to: Brendon Popplewell, Steve Davis, Darryl Anderson, George Simon, Emily Bosson and others occasionally.

Trackside Radio is appalling whenever Peter Earley, Mark Claydon, Cameron Shaw or Richard Bromley are hosting. 

The weirdest thing about this 'irritant' scenario is that I have great respect for the style and clarity and content that comes from just across the ditch.They are all professional, focused, intelligent communicators who know their stuff!

Exactly my point. the difference being the perception. The perception is the jockey is giving the relevant info (whether that be the case or not ) directly related to his mount I would assume, whereas a trackside presenter could take a ride for their jockey and then tip or talk up other mounts that they may or may not have had the opportunity to take as ride but haven't due to info obtained with regards to the ride. I haven't heard many jockeys tipping other horses in the race that they have a ride in (with the possible exception of riding against Winx) .

Isn't a jockey understating the chance of a ride effectively the same as tipping against? Especially if they understate due to inside info they have suggesting it was likely to go better than otherwise expected.

But would you expect a jockey to understate a ride or as you say tip against it? I can't recall this situation , any examples?

I would expect a jockey to do that for the same reason as a jockey agent would. To improve the price for those they are wanting to assist (whether it be themselves or part of their team).

And wouldn't a trainer do exactly the same thing. Understate one of their horses or suggest one of the stablemates was a better chance. That happens all the time.

They're just presenters and relying on their tips should be caveat emptor. if they are selling them, then I would expect that it would be reasonable to not allow that.

Are you still here?

Youre clueless when it comes to anything about INTEGRITY...or anything for that matter

The best Managers have 2 or more Jockeys....

If one trainer has stipulated one requirement of his Jockey...and the other diametrically opposed...

...and the Manager takes that Inside Info...and INSIDE TRADES...where the public have non disclosure...

Its INSIDER TRADING...and that's the information Racing NSW received ...and why they changed the rule

If you can't understand that you're half witted

Some people are paranoid. Most people that bet have had inside information at one time or another, or many times.

Decent jurisdictions don't stop those other than jockeys from using that information themselves. 

Why would a jockey tell their agent the riding instructions. If it's for some form of gain, decent jurisdictions ban that from happening.

That's where it should be stopped. Selling of inside information for some form of gain should be against the rules of racing (as it is elsewhere).

Using it yourself to bet, no problem. 

Otherwise you will have a lot of participants to ban.

Most trainers I know don't tell their jockeys anything until the mounting yard.  Then it is only if the jockey is unfamiliar with the horse and it's preferred style of racing.

A trainer wouldn't tell an agent didily squat.  For a start most of them wouldn't have a clue.

Super confirmation stuff yesterday from Alyssa Collett and what actually happens with these punting Agents

...direct comment from her brother...who can't do without an agent

The Agent often tells his 2/3 Jockeys...how the horse should be ridden after reviewing racing patterns...and what the speed maps show this race

MASSIVE problem right there...

and open to the Agent's betting manipulation....

...which is why they've been banned

Unless they're control freaks like the Hawkes...

...many trainers say " I've left it to the Jock...they're the pros"

Yea....they then listen to their agent...besides they're far too busy riding/track work/living/buying fast cars...

...to be doing their own stuff

...why not listen to their agent...who knows everthing...

...where the agent perceivedly punt the ones they've decided to ride positively?

..wher 'perception' is often everything

One of the biggest non jackpot collects in NZ racing was the multis at Ellerslie netting about $800,000. The word is the selections came from a jockey agent. One of the jockeys successfull that day got a sizeable 5 figure sling.

Sounds a lot like race fixing or simply good selections.
