3.40 Newton Abbot Magic Saint 9/2
Decent class 2 race with 2-3 improvers. Light N Strike and Clear The Runway need to prove they can win off their current marks with the former recording a very good time last time out . The selection though is Paul Nichols Magic Saint who’s absolutely thrown in here running in it’s first handicap since earlier in the year last handicap mark 143 now 127. He’s been running in hunter chases for a bit now without pulling up too many trees but this is not as hot as the handicaps he was once used to .Not as good as once was but as I’ve said he really is thrown in and has a good claiming jockey on board to aid the cause a bit more.  Interesting race. 
 
5 points win 

finished 3rd, beaten about a length.

7.00 Ayr - Tilsitt  - 7/2 with bet365 (also paying 3 places in a 7 runner race) - likes it at Ayr with 3 wins at the course ( 2 x CD ). In fact his last 3 wins have all been here. Went from the front last time but weakened in the last furlong.  Has been dropped a further 2lbs and Joe Fanning ( Fanning from the front) takes the ride (2nd top course jockey riding here today). I'm on for WIN, but with bet365 offering 3 places(extra place offer) in a 7 runner race, it may appeal to others.

You seem to be changing your approach again. Your tag at the bottom says .. In handicap races we are not looking for long shots .

8.30 Ponte - Corinthia Knight - 6/1 EW (1/5 4 places with 365) - Not won since August last year, but that was over CD, and a class 4 (this is class 5). Has 6 course wins to his name ( 5 are CD ), and he is now running from 10lbs below what he has won from within the last year. Jockey Paul Mulrennan takes the ride and is 1 winner from 1 runner when riding for trainer Archie Watson here at Pontefract.

Bussento - Non Runner
Jewel Maker - Jockey nominated for worst ride of year. Beaten just under 2 lengths after being out the back before trying to come up the rail when it was obvious that there was no way through. SHOULD WIN SOON. - lost
Red Alert - 3rd so place money only (odds 11/5)

4.10 Hay - Bussento - 3/1 - Could be on a decent mark, and may appreciate the faster surface.
4.25 Bev - Jewel Maker 11/2 EW (1/5th 3 places) - Drops back into a class 5 handicap, Top course trainer Tim Easterby's runner looks to have a good chance. My concern about a couple of dangers (Broctune Red in particular) is the reason for playing EW.
7.30 Chep - Red Alert - 11/1 EW (1/5th 4 places with Skybet) - Has won off an 8lb higher mark within the last year, he is dropping down the weights and has become well handicapped. Trainer Tony Carroll is the top course trainer with runners today, and jockey William Cox (only 2 rides) has a very fair 22% strike rate when riding for T.C.

Glorious Zoff fell at the last whilst 3 lengths ahead. Would have won no doubt but that’s racing for you .

Woulnded knee ran like it had one. - lost
Marajman - WON

2.50 M.Ras - The Wounded Knee - 12/1 EW (1/5th 4 places). First run for Roger Fell who is in good form ( 6 wins from last 27 runners) Gavin Sheehan rides ( only ride of day). With 4 places available it looks a fair bet, should place at least. 
3.50 M.Ras - Marajman - 4/1 - This is the 2nd run after a wind operation, has become dangerously well handicapped. Robert Dunne's only ride of the day.

I agree with "How many Jockeys or trainers get 4 winners in a day jockeys can only ride 7 horses a day". I'm sure the other day that Harry Cobden had 6 rides at a course where his strike rate is 31%, he should have managed 2 winners based upon that stat, but only managed 1.. and I think that was odds on.
I think that @The Equaliser is part of the way there, better jockeys make fewer mistakes, the problem is that can sometimes be reflected in the price.
