When I first started playing this game I used to pay close attention to jockey switches, jockey trainer combos, and red hot riders getting a lot of live mounts. Then somewhere along the line I started paying very little attention to jockey at all. I guess I didn't feel like it was adding much value to my opinions.
As an owner with a piece of a few horses, I'm paying more attention again. I've had the opportunity to observe a few jockeys. I know who has listened to instructions, who is riding hard for minor awards, who is being more or less aggressive than I want etc... Now I find myself forming opinions again. After a race I'll immediately start mumbling to myself how my horse would do better with so and so as a rider.
