Great video, narrated by one of the greatest jockeys of all time. Check out when he won the Breeders Cup Classic on Arcangues, this was the longest shot in the history of the Breeders Cup.
they use to walk through the crowd at alot of tracks i grew up at gulfstream park i remember after a race one time jerry was nice enough to stop and autograph a nice poster i had of cigar i still have it framed till this day !
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia´s quotation: "Regarded as one of the world´s all-time greatest jockeys, Bailey´s mounts won 5,893 races and $ 296 million during a 31-year riding career. At the time of his retirement, in January 2006, he ranked No. 2 on the career North American money list and still ranks No. 3"
I was like "daaaaadddd, I'm changed my decision about being a jockey! 5:30 to 6:00 in the morning is a no go"😂😂 joking im still going to follow my dreams

I am from new york and I would hang out in the summer at Aqueduct back in the day, and always admired how fit they are. They practically have no fat on their bodies fat just muscle. When they retire they usually are still fit. I would like to know how they do in retirement like a bio on the after all that racing.
Jockeys are the toughest athletes in the world...I'm too big and too old to pursue that dream of becoming one...but it was a dream growing up...I respect all jockeys.. Bailey,Cordero,Pincay,Velasquez among the best and my favorites.,🏇🏇🏇
Nice shirt Jerry have the same one you rode for me once and finished 2nd because you didn't follow my directions in a 5 horse race but ty anyway nice video .

I rode for 13 years and I will tell you it is very dangerous and you will get hurt or worse but it is the most intense competitive thing I have ever done in my life. I would suggest that if you do decide to ride get some type of education first.
I find it odd that the jockeys own their own saddles. Horses bodies are not all the same, so that would make them need many many different saddles. It would make sense to me that each horse would come with his or her own tack, to ensure a perfect fit.
@@citoyen09 what is the weight limit tell me right now I heard its like 112lb I'll literally put on three sweater and run around my neighborhood for 5hours and not eat a single thing the whole day, im so serious, this is a dream to become a Jockey
good work guys and i would like to be a better jockey in future but hear in Kenya we does not have an academy so we are picked from galloping to be an apprentice,,,,,,,,,,, just asking anybody who can hook me up with any trainer because am an apprentice with 23 winner's hear in kenya
Are Jockeys a race of people who have been bred over centuries to be as close to dwarves as possible without actually being dwarves? Do they all live underground or in hollowed out trees? How much do you have to pay to buy a jockey on the black market? What do you feed them? Do they get angry when they are domesticated? Once you own one how do you set up your home to make it seem like their natural habitat? What is the best way to discipline them if they don't do as they are told? Once they get too old to ride can a veterinarian put them down (euthanasia) or do you take them out back like Old Yeller and put one right between their eyes? So many questions about these strange creatures. If you guys could answer a few it would be greatly appreciated.
gimmedaalbatross . They are real people as you know, they are not recognized like others atheists. Everybody knows about Micheal Jordan and Scottie Pippin, only nines like Jerry Bailey and Willie Shoemaker you may hear about, they are very talented though. Many like Jerry Bailey and Mike Smith make a lot of money. It’s one of my favorite sports, I don’t bet but I like to see the horses run, the trainers get a lot more respect and publicity, many of them are very rich and have other professions like lawyer, doctors, contractor, architect, engineer and etc, many top trainers only holds a trainers licenses, their assistants do all the work while they are out playing golf or overseeing their construction crew on a site, I know what I am saying as a fact,...
I get angry when jockeys are not considered "athletes". GMAGB! their size, weight balancing on their toes controlling an 1100 pound animal running 40+ mpr....give me a gd break! If you ever meet a jockey ...don't ask 'well what bones have you broken? Ask what have you NOT broken.
Jerry did well in his years...but the truth of the matter is that he wasn't really "respected" by other riders. He sat on a lot of good horses because his agent was connected. Good horses win big noticeable races and that begets more good horses winning more big races. Chris Antley or Angel Cordero could ride rings around Jerry...even if he was on the best horse. That's talented riding...not Jerry Baily. After all it's called horse racing, not jockey racing. You may be able to move a horse up a few lengths over another rider, but it's a stick they use in the race. Not a magic wand.
Barking Shark Jerry was always known in the jocks room as a great rider. I don't think anyone who knows anything about race riding would disagree. He has always carried himself with class and dignity. A tremendous rider and ambassador for horse racing.
That would be NBA players. You can be an over the hill third teamer making 8 million a year or so. Jockeys risk their lives, starve themselves, and only a small percentage make the Bailey money. Your top riders at your small tracks ride six or more mounts a day practically year round to make a decent living.
Michael Pflug My mate was a electrician on a racecourse. The jockeys used to turn up in brand new Ferrari’s Porsche and Mercs for early morning galloping.
loomibiq I realize some do well even in the smaller tracks. I still feel NBA is way overpaid and would rate basketball, golf, and tennis as more overpaid professions in sports.
What a FANTASTIC insight to a Jockeys Day- Jolly Well Done, Jerry
Stay Well
Great video, narrated by one of the greatest jockeys of all time. Check out when he won the Breeders Cup Classic on Arcangues, this was the longest shot in the history of the Breeders Cup.
Thanks Jerry fr
Om a retired pari mutual and one of your pensioners I lov
Ed every moment of 16 years.

I know this video is about jockeys but I was licking enough to meet hall of fame trainer Bob Baffert and take a photo with him
*lucky
Jerry,was my favorite....got his autograph in 1998,and was thrilled.

Very nice. I was hoping he'd decribe the riding but I loved listening to him.
Thank you very much for sharing this video, I just learned a lot of things about jockeys that I didn’t know before
I was like "daaaaadddd, I'm changed my decision about being a jockey! 5:30 to 6:00 in the morning is a no go"😂😂 joking im still going to follow my dreams
Échale muchas ganas Jose suerte primo dios i todo estará vien
CIGAR! Thanks$ Sir ❤ !
Not all jockeys are short. It's not the size of the jockey, it's the weight. David Flores is a tall jockey.
What is the average yearly salary of a jokey

I am not a Bailey fan.
But, he did a good job explaining the process.
This apparently is an old film. He has more hair now.

Great job sir bailey 😕🍋🍓🍅🥕🍎👍
It’s mind boggling how many horses they hurt and kill

old thread but man Mott n Bailey owned Belmont.
I smashed my back , happy to walk
why.........why am I watching this?
My dad was a turkey and he broke his neck how you got a neck bracezz
Y does the valet take the whip

At least
112,,,wow is that enough weight to stay healthy?
If you're 5'4"
Can I be a Jockey at 150lb and 5'7'' ?? Please say yes becoming a jockey is a dream
Not TB racing.
