Jockeys do not make horses run faster, but they do allow them to run their best. They get a rhythm with the horse that relaxes them they keep out of traffic, they steer to the best part of the track. They have the horse in place to capitalize on the pace scenario. That is how I use the jockey factor. Good, proven riders break ties.
