Yep, that's about it.
Fail at odds on in a Listed Race and come out and win at 20/1 in a Group 1.
Here's some interesting stats on leading jockeys...
Overall 30.92% strike rate
D Beadman 35.43%
J Cassidy 28.67%
G Buckley 38.24%
Why J Cassidy so poor, why always suspended?
Craig williams 23.15%
Craig Newitt 33.02%
Steven King 27.70%
What's going on here with two of them, whom do they ride for?
Just a sample of why it's so important to have the right jockey on your horse.
While the odds on Darren Beadman's mounts are poor, you know he's busting a gut to give it every possible chance.
The best Jockey in Australia, for balance, poise, style, nouse, experience and credibility by a country mile.
