Also, in many careers, there is subtle age discrimination against people who didn't rise up quickly. The assumption is there must be something wrong with a journalist, for instance, who worked at a small local paper for 20 years and never moved up to a more important outlet.
So it might be with jockeys. You can make the move at 19, but at 32, people stereotype you if you are still at the C list track.
