This tutorial will demonstrate how to use the statfreaks Jockey challenge Analysis Tool which has been designed to assist you with isolating strong upcoming jockey rides and framing a jockey challenge market.
The Jockey Analysis Tool “JAT” is part of the Statfreaks “Advanced Horse Racing Subscription Package.“
THIS TUTORIAL IS LEVEL
- Identifying a strong horse and jockey combination for upcoming rides.
- Understanding historical jockey patterns over different distance ranges and settling positions.
- Assist with jockey challenge analysis.
- Finding jockeys that may not be suited to their upcoming ride.
- Isolated horses that have good or poor statfreak ratings (SFR).
- Finding jockey’s that have targeted a specific ride at a particular race meeting.
Analyzing jockey’s can many different ways. Our approach is a sharp and simple one; we look into the history of a jockey and their rides, we categorize distance groups and settling positions and then identify upcoming opportunities that meet those historical criteria.
The Jockey Analysis Tool has a few definitions which need to be understood before continuing. The list to the right explains each column heading and how the table calculates each measure.
