Is it when they help a jockey who's been off injured for a while?

It’s a race where every jockey comes back in with a big grin on their face.

THEY are not a myth, acey. THEY are seldom unsuccessful in their endeavours.

I think Declan Murphy's comeback (and final) ride was the paramount example.

They are a figment of punters imagination, to try and explain why a horse is given a soft lead in a race, and the remainder of the field are ridden awfully.

Yes domino, like Jibareen for example.

Toss up in weighing room, Valets get the money on, Everyone goes home happy, Owners scratch their heads.
