Chris Cook in the Racing Post:

“For a jockey, trying to employ team tactics in a race is a bit like being a trainer trying to get a horse down to a good handicap rating: it’s mostly a question of manners. If you have good manners, you can get away with quite a bit in racing.

If you make the effort, on behalf of everyone else, of disguising your intentions, then your work will be admired. If, on the other hand, you let it be obvious what you’re doing, you’ll put officials in the position of having to discipline you, and that’s just embarrassing for everyone. ”

Not as embarrassing as the fact that Chris Cook, by his own admission, only got his job through his father’s connections.
