Kentucky Derby Jockeys get Stiffed

I had no idea how bad jockey's get dumped on. If you watch the movie Seabiscuit it looks as if jockeys spend thier time riding horses, drinking booze, starving themselves, and occasionally boxing. Turns out it is way worse. This article explains the call for reforms and how bad those little guys really have it. Most importantly did anybody see the Simpsons episode with the jockeys? Guess they actually don't live underground in a fiberglass tree, the owners don't pay them enough to buy a shovel.
