Hi

Is it possible to find out when a jockey will return from holiday following the end of a contract?

Cheers,


Steve

there will be a note on your stable page saying that the jockey has left. I think there is a link to the diary, which will show it.

The jockey isn't currently at my stable, he is on holiday following a contract with another stable, and so it won't show up in my diary.

Is there any other way?

apart from asking the stable he left - no.

That is completely different. The answer to that would be no.

With an existing jockey your stable has a relationship, and if he likes you he'll give you a heads up when he'll be back. It is part of the perks of giving him a chance in the first place. However, if you have never hired him before, your stable has no relationship, so he has no desire to tell you anything, especially when he is lapping it up on some small island in the pacific, living the dream.
