Jockey angle system

Recommended Posts

The jocks in all racecourses are, in my opinion, pretty much equivalent to one another (with the girlies as a possible exception and possibly one or two "old age pensioners"). But the trainers and owners have their preferences and, as a result, we see some rather pronounced differences in the win percentages. Many punters hate to follow the jock angle because they like to study horses and not human to human relationships. But the jockey angle is there and it can make the difference between pay and no pay. To make proper use of the jockey angle the static win percentages are useful but not good enough and some further clever insight is needed. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that the following criteria should be used: POSITIVE INDICATORS - Top jock selected for horse with hidden form. - New partnership. - Bottom of the table jockeys when they have good relations with the trainer, have succeeded with same horse before or horse is an easy ride (does n't need a lot of help). NEGATIVE INDICATORS - Top jock drops horse in preference for another (but not because of weight or because of contract obligations). Do you have any comments or something to add to this ? Of course we are talking about things that are easily identifiable. For if, for example, a jock expresses dismay about his ride but only you have heard it, it does n't count.
