A. WEIGHING ROOM
Some of the jockeys go quiet and some are noisy before the race. It's all to do with how they handle nerves and the big occasion. I was always noisy.
Some jockeys are superstitious - I always put my right boot on first because I wanted to be with 'the right one.'
If you are busy, you are not nervous, so riding in the races beforehand is a good thing. They also give you a feeling for the track and the day itself.
Otherwise, you are sitting there and the big race is going through your mind all the time.
