Why is there such a difference in # of starts between the top jockeys especially Irad and Joel ? I already know some of it can be attributed to scratches but there has to be more to it then that.
It definitely appears that if those two jockeys had equal mounts Joel would be ahead at Saratoga and overall in the country. IDK about the Toga meet but the mounts Irad has throughout the year leads me to believe the guy doesn’t take a day off. Maybe Joel is more family oriented and isn’t riding in the afternoon then flying a helicopter to another track to get more races in.
