Jockeys Travel


Doomed

Recommended Posts

I am intrigued at some of the travel jockeys do for potentially quite small returns. I notice Terry Mosely rode at Riccarton on Thursday, today at Ruakaka with two mounts and then down to Wingatui tomorrow for five mounts. The flight costs to Ruakaka must be horrendous and then off to Dunedin. We all know how much it costs to fly to Dunedin. He has had one miss today with a maiden race still to go. Even if he won both races today his percentages would hardly cover his flight costs.

I know he has some connection with the owners of horses up North. Do they cover all of his flight costs? I don't know if jockeys get any special deals from Air NZ, but some of them must certainly clock up a few miles.
