The horse racing industry has been expanding the number of races every year for the past five years, and the pool of jockeys required to run all these races is too small. Jockeys are now the busiest sportsmen in England. Many jockeys are running multiple races on the same day, and the industry fears that these men and women are surely headed towards burn-out in the future.

The race to win the championship has the jockeys riding in as many races as they possibly can in order to gain points over opponents. Industry organizers are looking into creating schedules where only certain races will be included in the championship point race, instead of all the all-weather events. They will determine which races qualify by stakes amounts each race offers.

If changes do come, it will not be before next season’s championship. So the jockeys still have at least one busy year left.
