I hadn't given much thought to what happened to former jockeys. If it's anything like what happened with the UAE, they often couldn't find their parents, and were sent to orphanages instead. Oh, and those who did have families did not necessarily speak the same language, what with having been out of their home countries for so long. One also seriously doubts the ones who were physically or sexually abused could afford therapy. In short, a whole new set of problems.
