Tags: Sex Jockeys Horse Racing Calendar Nude The Jockey's Guild
1st off - I'm working on a claiming blog - but finding out tons of info during the process - so It's becoming more and more serious and involved. Which is exciting. So stay tuned as I research that aspect.
Now on to something a little closer to my heart - hot nude guys. - Oh come on straight guys and bible thumpers - don't stop reading.
For several years now our racing friends down under have been putting out a charity related calendar with nude photos (or nearly nude) of jockeys. I've been shown tidbits of the 2010 calendar and well - it's worth the buy. Jockeys are fit! A lot of muscled packed into a powerhouse body.
So it was mentioned on a friends Facebook page that they should do it here - and turns out the Jockey's Guild is working on a charity calendar for 2011! Sweet. Rumor has it they are looking for model suggestions. So - here are my 12 jockeys that I would prefer to see nude (in no particular order).
Before I give the list - I will say that I don't REALLY want to see them nude. I do not spend time thinking about this (ok - I'm spending time right now but not a usual past time). This is a blog first of all - and if sex sells - I might as well throw sex in my title so that I get more hits by pervs and weirdos right? I have no problem with nudity - unless it's mine in one of those f'd up dreams I used to have as a kid standing in line coming in from recess and everyone else is clothed but me - and I float. I frickin' hated those dreams - it was always cold - I swear it was the cold.
Anyway - here's my nudes - and I honestly believe it would be wise to split it up - girls and guys calendars:
Alex Solis - I must say that I've never really thought of him as a hottie - but I have seen some pictures of him NOT in jockey attire - and shirtless and let's just say - for a 45-year-old man (which is not old damnit but you know how people think) he is the most fit I've ever seen.
Channing Hill - kind of a boy next door look - and was born the year I graduated High School (thanks age awareness league) which makes him the same age as my nephew and now that I'm typing this I'm freaking out because in my nephew is a little boy and this just creeping me out. However I'm sure he would be great for attracting young girls (and boys) and maybe some lecherous weirdos and cougars.
Moving on. Geez I'm suddenly reconsidering this blog. I've so fucked myself already. Sometimes one shouldn't open their mind up for everything to be read. Too late. I'm doing this dammit.
Aaron Gryder - I don't know what it is but he's very attractive to me. Oh here we go again. should I stop? Ok I'm gonna suck it up and go on. No more pussyfootin. Aaron is hot to me - and I know a lot of women who agree. So there!
Iggy Puglisi - I don't know why. I think he's attractive (especially without the hair slicked back) and I really enjoyed him as on air talent on TVG - but I didn't like what I heard about (because I didn't watch) with him on Jockeys. Just made me really sad. - so maybe a nude shot would cheer him up a bit. - Works for me.
Mike Smith - he's always been attractive. Hollywood type face if you ask me. Plus he's big name. (Not that the others aren't but Mike's one that people that don't follow racing actually have heard of - that's key when selling sex). I mean - which video did you Google, buy, download, rent, etc. - Paris Hilton with that no name freak that was married (right?) to Shannon Doherty or - Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson. You know which one - and you know why.
So anyway - ever notice I can't keep a train of thought? Yeah - imagine what its like in here on a regular basis.
Jeremy Rose - met him once at a party at Churchill Downs. Was kind of shy and quiet - but most people seem that way when I'm at a party. Ha!
Jonathan Joyce - I don't know much about him - but he seems to be having a decent career in Maryland.
Ok - so that's all the men I can come up with. Maybe Brian Hernandez would be ok. Not sure - he has such a young look. Might be too weird. Hey where is Ryan Fogelsonger?
There are a few women that ride that I think would attract great attention. The obvious would be Chantal Sutherland but since she turned down Playboy because she thought her nudity was worth more - I'm guessing she wouldn't do a charity calendar. Don't know her at all but what came across on Jockeys - made me think she was only pretty on the outside. Maybe I'm the bitch.
Jordan Springer - big ups to my girl. You may not know her as well as Chantal - but she's frickin' hot! Also a damn good rider.
Jenna Joubert - now I don't know her at all but I find her to be very striking!
Clearly Rosemary Homeister would sell some calendars. She's beautiful - GREAT hair.
Basically I think you have to mix the calendar with hot names and hot faces. Jockeys are a hot commodity - just like the horses. They are the OTHER thing crossing the finish line. They are as important to our industry as the horse. We seem to have a problem promoting it because the horses don't race as long as most non-understanding fans would like. What we do have are our OTHER athletes. So since it's already in the works - I think we may finally have something that positively impacts our sports publicity.
Live Nude Girls - and Guys. Who would you choose?

I was surprised Chantal was not on the list.
Reply to this
like I said Lucy (if indeed that is your real name) Chantal is on the list but she wouldn't pose nude for Playboy (probably thinks she's a bigger "star" than she is) so I doubt she's do it for Charity.
Reply to this
I think Chantal would do something like that for charity, honestly. And, I'd like to see a European edition....Frankie Dettori and Mirco Demuro are high on *my* list.

I think Eibar Coa would take it all off. Just my 2 cents, not that I want to see many of them naked, LOL.
We have a lot of brothers in the biz.... Shaun & Jermaine Brigmahon & Daniel & Eibar Coa.
How about Fernando Jara? I think I would rather see the compact & fit jockeys than the tall & emaciated ones.

I am posting friends' requests of Channing Hill, Rafael Bejarano & Chris DeCarlo. No love for Joe Bravo...unless he poses nearly nude in a pile of his poker winnings!
Reply to this
Rafael Bejarano and Julien Leparoux HAVE to be in it. And I definately have to agree that Rosemary Homeister should be shown. Also, how about Ashton Fitzpatrick?
Reply to this
you should really consider some of the Quarter Horse riders also. I don't know if she would consider but Tomey Swan is beautiful. She retired a few years ago. and there are quite afew good looking guys out there.... Just my opinion.
Reply to this
I sent this along to Tomey. Good friend of mine. and you are so right- she's beautiful - and QH jockeys should be involved. There are enough jockeys out there - that this could become even bigger - with charity promotions for QH, TB - and maybe break it down by State. Sorry Tennessee and the 17 other states that don't have racing - well not in the way that matters most, pari-mutuel wagering - you get no nude jocks!
oh - and CougarLove - I won't let it get pervey! but I'll let it go pretty far.
Reply to this
Oh yeah, and Tyler Baze needs to be a part of this as well.
Reply to this
Iggy-licious! Do you think this blog could get pervey??? Surely not, LOL!
How about Jackie Davis, DeShawn Parker, Matt Straight & Mikey James?

This has traumatized me.

I guess no father ever wants to see his daughter nude, and especially not in a calendar or magazine. But as a racing fan and a big supporter of the Don MacBeth fund I would consider it or at least tear that page out of the calendar and then buy the calendar. The Don Macbeth might be my only exception as a father. Not that I have anything to say in the matter anyway. Just a comment as a Dad, keep it tasteful for all family members.
