These guys just make me want to puke. I'm so sick of these whining, spoiled primadonna's who think the game owes them.

seriously? you think that they should have to pay 50 bucks to park so they can go to work? personally I think that sucks.....tickets are a seperate issue, but parking? come on, they shouldn't have to pay that much....(no one should).

I'd pay Aaron Gryder $50 to not show up.

Should we all get hot coco for free when it's brisk outside?

So when I go to my office in the city and park I should get it for free.. How about lunch?

They do not have to pay to park. The primadonna's as usual think they are above the law. The owners and trainer's have to pay for additional tickets so why do the jockey's think they are special? Because they are a bunch of flaming illiterate morons that have no respect for any other faction within the industry.

These are the same guys that seem to think their familiies belong in the winner circle after they win a big race.

they don't?

and the $50 parking fee riders have been told they will be charged

I don't think their families should get free tickets.

I'm sure the latest new head of the Jockey's Guild will straighten everything out.

For once, I have to agree with the sarcasm here.

I'll make it $100

I agree that it doesn't make sense to pay money to come to work, especially when you aren't even guaranteed any money in return.

They do get $100 per mount or something like that so they are guaranteed money, unless the horse scratches and I don't know what happened to that mount money then

There are no tickets for the jockeys because Dinny Phipps gained another 100 pounds and needs all the tickets for his own ass.

IrishofNDMan · #16 10-23-2007, 06:57 PM

how much do you think a winning jockey gets on average in a breeders cup race?

What team does he own?

I know one of his great grand daddies owned a whole lot of US Steel.

His father wasn't an ass like this guy. Lived til he was in his 90's and won the US Open a bunch of times.

Dinny apparently just drinks and eats.

With the money most of them make they should be able to afford to pay for thier own parking and tickets. What a bunch of whining wenches.

Yes, Dinny Phipps has enough money to buy his own tickets. Yes, I agree.
