“Siri…who was Seabiscuit’s jockey?”
“Sorry, I didn’t quite get that, try again later.”
When it comes to horse racing, why do we always remember the name of the horse and not the name of the jockey? Why does Seabiscuit, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and Justify always come to mind, but the names of their jockeys don’t?
Some might say it’s because the jockeys don’t really matter, while others might say it’s because they don’t seek the fame, but what I think it comes down to is that the horses’ creative and catchy names are prominently displayed when you bet, before the race, during the race, and after the race.
