A full time jockey valet seems deserving for an "A" track. You're right though what irks them, it's definitely a leverage move. It might even go deeper than that, where something big, underlying has not been discussed and can't be publicly.

Maybe the jocks want a bigger CAW profit, after all it is NYRA ngc3

Post by: Papillon on December 06, 2025, 01:11:23 PM: along with not allowing family into the jocks room--there was a system where weights were recorded both digitally and called out manually--and the guy in charge of weights didn't like it-so they sent him home

he was very friendly with the jocks

in addition-it was no coincidence they conducted race 1 then decided to protest--this was so everyone who works at the track gets paid for the day--most if not all valets and many other track employees are per diem
