The jockey statistics are very conclusive in pinpointing high performers and can't be ignored. Jockey ability and jockey status are separate factors but do work hand in hand. As discussed in our previous section a jockey agent plays a huge part in a riders continuing success but as with any industry the best agents work for the most talented performers and the cycle is self fulfilling.
You must draw your own conclusions from this but hours reading the form cards can be very quickly narrowed down by applying rules of common sense.
