Possible new jockey stats/figures
« on: May 13, 2008, 02:30:23 PM »
Is there any possibility of including the thorograph impact of jockeys into the jockey stats on the sheets?

Like say when \"Joe Jockey\" rides a certain horse for a first time, the average amount of Thorograph improvement/decline for horses that Joe Jockey takes the mount on vs the previous TG figures.

Sure-  and how about some notation on whether a horse takes a dump in the paddock or post parade? After all, that has to be worth at least a five pound break in the weights, equivalent to one length, right? Seriously, I think these guys are handling a huge data set with a lot of skill. Sometimes we each have to do a little work. Its called handicapping.

LOL...That reminded me of my uncle when he used to take me to the track as a kid.  A horse would be taking a dump on the track and he would point him out to me and say look...he\'s getting light! I laugh, but I was 8 years old taking notes in the paddock of horses taking craps.
