Why don't the jockeys communicate via some kind of an electronic ear gizmo with someone with a stopwatch that can tell them how fast they are going at anytime during the race? They can then adjust their horse's internal pace speed to the optimum for that horse's running style. I really can't understand why jockeys continuously misjudge pace and race their horses into oblivion chasing suicide fractions or easing up against exceedingly slow paces. To me, jockeys cause the great majority of pace problems not the horses. Asfufh
PS In the interests of keeping the handicappers fully informed, perhaps the tracks could broadcast the conversations that take place over these gizmos ;>).
