What they've started doing in the middle east to combat the child-jockey problem is introducing robot jockeys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_jockey

This might be a while coming to Mongolia, but it's still a possibility.

that's interesting. i don't think mongolians will ever take to the idea though. the child jockeys are usually the trainers' kids, and they're very enthusiastic about racing. i have never heard of any human rights abuse issues in mongolia's horse-racing.
