jockey vigorously urging - worse pair of hands
Question
hello sir, do you believe that a jockey who vigorously urges the horse in the final straight approaching the finish line (putting his best efforts)doesn't has good pair of hands? is he/she are ruthless towards their mount rather than showing some mercy?
Answer
HI -- WHEN YOU ARE COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE IN A RACE, YOU MUST GET EVERY OUNCE OF RUN FROM YOUR MOUNT, SO JOCKEYS DO HAVE A TENDENCY TO SHOOT DUCKS AT THE HORSE AND PUSH HIM FORWARD WITH THE SCRUBBING ACTION OF HIS HANDS AND FEET. A GOOD JOCKEY WILL TRY EVERYTHING TO WIN THE RACE. THANKS ED HESS
