Your so funny....thanks needed the laugh today
and, yes they have jockeys, and the little tiny jocks always go from horse to horse and talks to them to see which one will win the race, and if the other horses do not like that horse, then they get the horse flys and jockeys to distract it, so it wont win.....that's how I lose all my money at the track, ha ha
and the jockeys wear little teeny tiny suits, so when the race is over they are allowed along with their horsefly's to the winners circle to sting the owners of the horse and she can swat them with her hat, for real, this happened at Louisiana Downs last year, a lady took off her hat and was going nuts trying to get them away from her and their horse.
it was a really funny site to see..
Presto!
I just saw the largest one I ever saw yesterday....it had a flea for a jockey!!! lol! This horsefly was a bit over a inch long!

Yes. There is a breed of ant that teams up with horse flies. They come in various colors and were the inspiration for the silks that jockeys wear. The ants are the actual biters.
