He may well have the gift of the gab but in such a prime position you need someone who is intellectually astute and well-versed in achieving the maximum benefits for the people you represent.
Sadly, Darley's approach to the job is of another era when jockeys felt obliged to be grateful whatever meagre crumbs were thrown to them. I doubt very much whether the majority of jockeys have the business acumen to be leading their professional body. They should look outside racing for an expert representative. |

He was, "never once asked to stop a horse," - and has, - "never heard of any other jockey being asked, either." He should be knocking on doors for the Jehovah's Witnesses. |

Anyone know why Darley is stepping down and what his plans are? |
