Look for a consistent strike rate of at least 15% over the
past 4 years and most daily papers will give you this
information. Make sure the stable is in form when it is it can
be virtually unstoppable with just about every horse from the
stable running well even the big priced not so fancied ones.
Always take note of trainer’s comments in race reports or
interviews you can pick up invaluable clues about future plans.
A top rider can make all the difference in a tight driving
finish and on many occasions it can truthfully be said that the
jockey won the race.
However any jockey is only as good as the rides he gets, so
do not attach as much importance to the jockey as you do to the
stable the horse comes from. Also the mounts of top jockeys can
sometimes be poor value and this must be taken into account.
As with trainers, it is always worth consulting the top
jockeys table for each meeting. Certain riders do well at
certain small racecourses. Experience with all weather racing,
for example, can often prove an asset. Always be on the look out
for the he rising star apprentice who can claim 5lb off the
allotted weight in a handicap.
