They need to raise the weight for all jockeys to 126, these guys are killing themselves to make weight everyday. Very sad!!!!!

Pretty sure this will be a fluff piece.

Most jocks are drunks and drug abusers.

Will they show jocks spending 9 hours a day in the sauna, or flipping right before the weigh in?

doubt it.

Yeah right, break all the horses down.

The jockeys can be any weight they want. They just wouldnt get any mounts. There are plenty of jockeys who dont struggle with their weight to ride. The ones that are killing themselves are the ones who dont want to get a real job. They want to ride. I dont blame them. But its their choice.

You telling me that by increasing the weight 8 pounds that all the horses are going to break down?
