It is easy for those who have never sat on a horse to be critical of jockeys.
Well, then we shouldn’t be critical of politicians either. I never led a country, so I guess everything Donald trump is doing could be okay. I won’t be critical of him any longer.
Nor should judges be critical of doctors who are guilty of medical errors. They’ve never treated a single patient and yet they’re allowed to pass sentence at the end of a trial.
Jockeys are no scientists and they make far too many mistakes, imo. Most of the times on races I haven’t had a bet on. So why not being critical of them? We do it dozens of times during a football match, why not once on a raceday?
