one of the most honest, interesting jockey interviews you will ever see

This week, a look back at perhaps the most honest and interesting interviews we have ever done with a jockey, It’s truly is an eye-opener!!

Jockeys are among the toughest athletes in the world... whatever his story is or background,i respect all jockeys highly.🏇🏇🏇

[@ClownWorld91]

Lollllllllll athlete you're funny, the horse is the athlete

[@petesaria-hf1xh]

If thoroughbred racing and those that partake in it interest you, you might enjoy First Mount, a short novelette that I read recently about a young jockey’s travails at making the weight to get his first ride and what he’s willing to endure to get it.

I feel so bad for this man. He so obviously loves the sport and also so obviously wants to eat normally and feel more confident about his own health...

[@csnide6702]

He is obviously too big to be a jockey

[@JoeKoOhNo]

Laffit Pincay weighed 117 for thirty years and his diet was unbelievably sparse. Lukas told the story of flying with him to an out-of-state race and as they prepared for take-off, Laffit ate half a peanut. When they landed, he ate the other half.

[@frankgarofalo2653]

I used to bet him at Bay Meadows…
He was competent

[@kristieparker3935]

How sad it's like a model starving herself

[@martinatscherner6861]

I feel really bad for him! There should be a (higher) weight minimum!

[@csnide6702]

or he is just too big to be a jockey

[@MrMr-hq1se]

Our society is sick in the head.
He knows right from wrong and chooses to starve himself.
"Luxury of feeling full" is an odd statement.
I admire the honesty and shame the physical and mental abuse of it all.
All for what...a trophy, money, and a reputation?
Here's a sport...put a monkey on your back and run in circles. First one to reach the banana wins.
Pathetic

[@slipknot00010]

Terrible jockey this at turf paradise track

[@barkingshark6413]

Admitting he was a heaver does not make him honest...or interesting for that matter.

[@calebass9122]
