Monmouth Race 3 Friday

[fouroneone]

Could find nothing in the program noting it was any special type of race, just a normal maiden race.

However, when the race was over ( i didnt play it) i noticed that the winning jockey was taller than all the people in the winners circle (maybe 6'1)

so i look at the form and all the jockeys are first timers at 140-150 pounds.

What was that all about?

Ameteur Rider's Association race? I'm being serious, fyi.

Yes, they were Amateur Riders. It was pretty clearly stated in the program, don't know how you missed it.

Was using the small $3 drf book with multiple tracks that they sell at otb's

no mention of it at all, but thanks for the info

what exactly makes one an "amateur" jockey?
