Difference in Jockey Professionalism??

How many NZ Jockeys walk over their place of work each raceday?  I haven't seen many but to be fair most of them are riding trackwork in the morning to make ends meet.

Recently Josh Parr rode at the last day of the Riccarton Cup meeting - first thing he did after getting off the plane and arriving oncourse was to walk the track with sharp stick.

In today's The Form interview with Luke Currie who is riding at Trentham - he said as soon as he gets to the track he will be walking it.

Yes. I saw him do that about 15 minutes before the first. It was bloody freezing and he had his suit coat on over his riding gear.
