Betting The Jockeys
Has anybody else has considered betting jockeys rather than horses? The idea came to me while looking at a maiden field somewhere in the sticks and by far the best credentialled rider was D. Ganderton and he duly saluted. Stand out examples are not that common but the seed of an idea for a system was planted.
It occurs that there might be a greater disparity between the better jockeys and the lesser jockeys at country and provincial meetings than between the better and lesser jockeys at a city meeting and one might be able to make a profit by dutching the better jockeys at country meetings. In order to be able to compare the relative merits of the jockeys I would need some sort of form guide, by state, for them. I know the Sportsman used to publish such tables weekly in the Friday edition but does anyone know is there such a thing available online which is updated daily or weekly?
Thanks,
Ron
