# Jockeys and Trainers

Every horse is paired with a jockey and a trainer. They have names, portraits, and short bios. Each carries a hidden modifier profile:

* Jockey — affects in-race execution (e.g. better acceleration, better wet-condition handling).
* Trainer — affects long-term conditioning (e.g. better on specific surfaces or distances).

For Season One:

* Pairings are fixed. You can't swap, rotate, or acquire new jockeys/trainers.
* Modifier magnitudes are hidden, like DNA — learn through racing.
* Jockey/trainer swapping or a marketplace may come in future seasons.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zed.gambitpro.com/owning-horses/12-jockeys-and-trainers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
