Hi Crash!
I am probably out on a limb here, but I never take any notice of Jock or trainer any more in my ratings. (I used to!). As far as I am concerned the only entity in the race that is unaware of the price on the tote is the horse! That's what I concentrate on.
In my opinion you are right about country jocks.
And to prove that I am not blind re. jockey's abilities, I follow MS L Allpress who rides in NZ. She is good for a place if the horse is not shortish ie. >=15/1. or not too long ie. over 40/1. She is most prominent on long shots in feature races.
I give away one of my secret tools, for the benefit of you all, most of you probably know it anyway. I have a record of every horse's winning price pattern and bet accordingly, regardless if I rated it on top or if it's the fav.
It is amazing how many horses only win when the price is right????
How the h...l did they know?
Good luck
