Here's a poser : Why is it some great race horses never passed on their talents via genes?Here's a FACT for you "doubters" to ponder:
Ortega the jockey that GAVE his whip away just four months ago was found riding with a buzzer. So why is he still allowed to ride at Parx?
Answer: It was in the blood, not in the genes.
IMO, illegal drug use is worse than jockey doings because we can't see it.
Check out this link and note the trainer chart with the heading "starts per medication violation".

Why are these trainers still allowed to train and repeatedly break the medication rules?
