ust cant do it with doyle on it, shes the most useless jockey when I back her. Was quite funny (well not for me) the other day looked at hooves like jagger ay 8s, noticed she was on it so left it, comes in to win, lol.
Yep, I always get a sinking feeling when I see my horse is ridden by a female jockey, my woke daughters role their eyes when I mention this !
I must admit I don't have any data to back this up, I'll have to trawl through my data to see what I can find.
I do remember reading that female jockeys are actually good value because they are under bet as most punters are old sexist dinosaurs like myself !

Yes, that is the quandary, we have to remember that we are not looking for the most likely winner but the horse that offers the best value. How we measure that is the great debate.

Personally I don't factor jockeys or trainers in to my analysis (apart from claimers).
There is a logic in female jockeys because they are generally weaker than men. This applies in most sports, the number 200 ranked male tennis player had a match against the Williams sisters when they were at the top and beat Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2.
I think we are prejudiced by our losers and look for someone or something to blame when in reality it is all down to chance.

I've had another look.
For the years 2014 to 2021 I get 194 winners from 382 runners with an AE of 1.024.
For some reason French bred have an exceptional record, with 82 winners from 134 runners and an AE of 1.20. Irish bred are 88 from 200 with an AE of 0.91.
1st last time out 58 from 105 with an AE of 1.05.
As you say, novices have a poor record so exclude them and you are left with 100 from 199 with an AE of 1.06.
Hot favourites may be best avoided, those with a BSP of less than 1.50 have a record of 48 from 69 with an AE of 0.91.
Certainly food for thought.

I only have numbers for the last 8 years but these do show positive returns.
For December and January I have 46 winners from 117 runners with an AE of 1.11.
Hurdles have an AE of 1.22, chases 0.84.
Worryingly, the last 3 years have all shown losses !
