This'll be popcorn worthy if any WA jockeys get a mention.

 Might be a long list , but i wont bag any of them here. Still i think the only proffesion in the world where a ambulance follows you around. No matter how bad they need balls to do it

I don't think this is productive for several reasons.

It is not an organisation.

It is not policy.

It is people you are asking to be rated in competency by largely people who  couldn't do the job themselves.

So if we were being totally fair, Lukoedits, you would openly declare who you were, what you did for a living and what sort of a citizen you were in your local community. Please include all arrests and Court appearances when you respond.

Then and only then, the rest of us will grade your suitability to pose the question. 

Sound fair ?

Any jockey riding a horse I backed which doesn't win :-S

Fair point, but despite how dangerous the sport is the public still have the right to have an opinion on who is the best or worst at the sport? we are allowed to rate boxers but not jockeys? (I know horse racing is more fatal)

Knock it off, it's only opinion, and people have been rating or somehow quantifying jockeys forever.

If you want to be a successful gambler, then you have no hope unless you have a good take on the worth of your jockey.

to answer the question........my least liked(and nothing to do with how well they rode or otherwise) was Roy Higgins, and Jim Cassidy.

Favourites Harry White, Moreira and Damian Lane

Best for making me money was probably Mick Mallyon , Darren Gauci(especially when he rode Sauna one Wednesday at Caulfield), and Greg Hall
