If a punting life was just so easy...
Jockies run hot and cold from week to week and even day to day. All of them perform better at some tracks and are very average at others, depending on their riding style which suits certain type of runners better than others etc. Some jockeys ride better in the wet than they do on dry tracks and vis-a-vis.
Like horses, from ride to ride I doubt jockies will ever have a static rating that can be put on them for mechanical use in stats. |
