I am a jockey and I know it

At New Years eve I was invited to a New Years Party by a friends friend. The woman who had the party was a famous Swedish jockey. Joining her were also a lot of jockeys. We were seated were we had a card with our name on it. At my table we had nice discussions and later that evening I  talked to an English jockey and I asked him if he had learnt some Swedish when he was here.
He responded: - I am a jockey. I do not have to. 
Needless to say I stopped talking to him immediately.
