I was wondering after your Apprentice/ stable jockey rides out their claim can he become your retainer, so that you can hire another apprentice if you know what I mean. As I would like two jockeys because sometimes I have horses at different tracks on the same day instead of choosing another jockey to book from the list.

I check all the jockey stats of available jockeys before i hire I'm not sure the stats stay the same for every game but
know they are important in SO7

I Use T Talamo in America he is a class act

What are good uk jockeys on the flat. Plus the apprentice I got at the moment I want to make him my retainer once he rides out his claim and hire another apprentice can you do that or not ?

I don't know the answer to your claim question, but I think it is you can't, he's an apprentice still. But you can switch to another apprentice.

As for jockeys in each game, I have restarted several games, and each time the jockey stats have been randomized. So *my* Dettori in my "game1" won't have the same stats in your game, or even in my "game2".

I just checked the stats are different in every game so check before you hire
