I think it all comes down to what trainers they
are riding for. When a horse wins, the trainer takes
all the credit and when a horse loses, the jockey
gets the blame.
Even when jockeys are riding well for a trainer, it
seems like the trainer is always looking for a
'hotter' jockey. There doesn't seem to be much
loyalty at all.
I suppose the money angle is just a reflection of
how good a jockey is politically at the moment.
