Darren has had 86 rides for Gai for a 20.58% POT and 31.40% strike rate on city tracks.
Not so strange at all.
Darren's gift is not in lifting a horse, but in rating it.
He has the talent to know how much exactly the horse has left and when "to go"
Of course there's no doubting he has some of the best horses to ride which make him look good, but he keeps getting the best rides because he rates them better than any other jockey around.
Every jockey makes mistakes, he just makes less of them. 
Getting Betfair best prices on any price range of his rides, results in a very decent profit also. |
