This clue might be a double definition.

'rings' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'jockeys' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hoops that I've seen before include "See 5" , "Circles" , "Part of a croquet set" , "Small arches in croquet" , "Jump through these to undergo test or ordeal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
