I also reckon the tables showing how the jockeys go is very deceptive. They use bookie starting prices. Now when a jockey wins on a horse at $20.00 with the bookies it can often be $30.00 or $40.00 on the tote. Have a look at how those jockeys do on the longest priced horses in the tables. Any remotely close to square may actually be showing a profit at best tote odds, though the sample is probably not enough considering the number of rides and number of winners.
