Timbo,
It's the high wind warnings that have them more concerned even than the cold.. That from NY Post's John DaSilva... It would be like the flying nannies scene in 'Mary Poppins' if the jocks start getting blown about!

They agreed to ride in NY in the winter. Ten years ago they didn't cancel like they do now.

I was there for a day at Penn National last year with 30-40 MPH winds. Horses were running down the lane like a bunch of drunken sailors.

One of my partners is an exercise rider at AQ, Bel, and Sar. Just imagine getting out of bed at 4 AM, bundling up as best you can, face mask, and riding one of these at almost 40 mph...into the wind. Man, it's plenty cold here. Lucky the wood is firing in the stove and fireplace. I'm not thinkin' of the horses...those folks that ride em earn every single penny! DTS

The insurance thing is a huge issue, yes.
But I would suggest next time they make a video to show how iunfortunate the jockeys are and show it on HBO...Dont have a jockey narrate the thing driving around in his 60K Mercedes SUV. Thats like a homeless person asking for money wearing a 2K Calvin Klein suit... Stupid. Doh!

My partner got pinned to a wall while he was tacking up one about a year ago. Took him six months for his back to be good enough so he could get back up on one. Insurance? LOL! Some of the backstretch people are bigger dreamers than me, a little breeder. There just has to be more that motivates these folks than the big dollars...cause, between you and me, it ain't there. I guess it's the "love". BRRRRRR!!!!
