The weigh-in at Caymanas Track, Portmore Jamaica. 2013
Dick Cardenas from Panama, who is a former champion jockey in Jamaica, weighs in. During race days competition between jockeys gets intense, often leading to bans and fines for offences, such as ‘intimidation and interference caused to scar’ and ‘ungentlemanly conduct’. Like the weigh-in, these categories help to weigh out discrepancies.
