Thanks for stating the obvious....

I understand using the strike rate on different horses is bad, but then that stat is based on all his/her rides and should define their talent/ability.

The jumping from jockey is the concern I do agree, I could find that I am jumping from a jockey who didn't win only to then lose the lay as I jump to a jockey who is close to striking. Thats said if I'm only selecting jockey's based on their strike rate, then its most likely I'll be selecting the same jockey's.

Yes I am trying to identify a weak link, thats the whole point. If its a nothing jockey on a nothing horse then laying it should be profitable.

Just looking at the s/r for some vic jockeys with sub 10% S/Rs and some have made a few million in prize money.. Tho I guess they've prolly be riding for a decade heh.
