Do wins in Zim count toward S.A Jockey Championship ?

I remember when Derrick David won the apprentice championship beating Karis Teetan the Zim wins were taken into account. Karis was unlucky to loose the contest in the last week of the apprentice championship.

zim winners definately count..karis teetan had more sa winners but derrick david beat him to champion apprentice due to wins in zim

correct naresh

WOW so much much for clarity on the issue.

Good Point Titch

So why is Riddle not in the betting to lift the title......lol

As I mentioned, we called the Jockey Club and they said the website is inaccurate. They also said Zim winners do count and have to be added manually, but they hope to correct website. All very confusing. Took a few calls to the Jockey Club and slowly moving up the chain of command until we got an answer.
I hope its the right answer after all that.

Zim winners count as they always have, even in the "isolation" period between Zim independence in 1980 and the normalisation of relationships with SA in the early 90s. Racing in Zim has long fallen under the ambit of the SA Jockey Club (now NHA) and is basically a province of SA in racing terms.

I can remember a time back in the 70s when title-chasing jockeys used to go to the now defunct Bulawayo track to try and rack up some winners as it was the only place in Southern Africa that raced on Sundays until we started it in about 1994 or so.

Yeah, Magic, those were the days my friend... Michael Roberts vs Basle Marcus vs Robbie Sham.

Those were the days indeed...especially as Bulawayo was the first racecourse I ever went to, way back in 1972. I was 13 years old and I didn't have to pretend I was 16 or something and, yes, it was on a Sunday. One might say they were way ahead of SA in some ways, back then. We even had television long before it came to this side of the Limpopo...(

if a zim jockey rides in SA would it count as a win in their title log??
