The founding father of Chester Races was Henry Gee, who died in 1545, but his name is remembered in the running of the Henry Gee Stakes for three-year-old maidens at the July meeting, and possibly also in the old, but still commonly-used, English nickname for racehorses: Gee-Gees.

That is a very good question! To be honest I don't know, perhaps it has something to do with the noises jockeys make to encourage the horse
Although most of the things I've heard jockeys say are not generally used in polite society - why do you think they have "jockey cams" during races, but not "jockey mikes"?!

That's not what I call my horses when they lose.
