STS RACING IRONS - How & Why They Work
Chairman of stewards Mr. Ray Murrihy raised serious concerns about traditional irons having a poor tread causing riders feet to slip of the iron easily especially when jumping from the barrier resulting in many falls. Jockey’s feet were also slipping forward during the race causing them to become uncomfortable and unbalanced. Mr. Murrihy called for a better iron design hence the STS irons were born.
