Well, what I was getting at is that some jockeys ride a lot of horses.. what we should be trying to measure is the jokeys skill when the runner has got a reasonable chance.. If I take the TAB market and count wins against rides at any price the results will be lowered because some of those rides weren't a serious chance...

I'll have to count wins against rides for a range of prices by gouping prices up to say $100.00 i.e < $2.00, $2.01 - $3.00, $3.01 - $5.00, $5.01 - $8.00, $8.01 - $12.00 etc...

(we can always adjust the figures to suit the results... Gosh I love Stats)..

I have a few things to attend to but I'll look into it soon and let you know the results.

The other way to look at it is to see how many rides a jockey has and work out what kind of wage he is taking home, then add his cut in prizemoney and see which ones are living a high flying lifestyle, and which are the battlers.. Logically the battlers would be the lesser skilled riders... But I'll let someone else ponder that one...
