The 8 Stone Giant

[Nathan Hughes]

My favourite jockey is no light weight in comparison to most other horsey pilots, so any sweating to lose a few pounds may help us add a few. Rules of system are simple so if he rides under 9 stone we have a selection. pts as followed.

8’13 – 1pt stake
8’12 – 1pt stake
8’11 – 1pt stake
8’10 – 2pts stake
8’9 – 2pts stake
8’8 – 3pts stake
8’7 – 3pts stake
8’6 – either he’s died or will be too weak to ride………

Hi

Nathan

.

Not being a million miles away from this system is one from that grand old man FENMAN and it is one I have used and will again when the NH season proper is under way. I must say with so much summer racing I decided to rest it but who knows it may work just as well in the summer as the winter.

The rules are simply enough: –

Note the top three riders at any given NH meeting.

Check ONLY handicap races.

Look for any of the three riders carrying less than 11 stone.

If more than one rider qualifying it is said to choose the one with a better win to ride percentage.

I prefer it when there is only just the one but hey, each to there own.

Looks interesting Billion.

Where’s the best place to check the top 3 riders on the internet and what am I looking for that qualifies as the top 3?

Sporting Life.

Stats for each meeting offers a lot of info.

Just had a squint at The Sporting Life

Nathan

: –

Select Race cards from the Home Page

Then chosen meeting

Next Fast Cards followed by Course Stats and scroll until Top Jockeys for all the info.

I guess you then have a choice of number of races won or win to rides percentage.

Looking at my daily papers and the table they look to select the riders with the greatest number of wins.

Has someone put some WD40 into the works here only it is much faster and fingers crossed it continues.

There is another approach using the Sporting Life site, Nathan.

Select ‘Racecards’ where all the meetings are shown..
You can then select a specific race.
Once that race appears select ‘Jockeys/Trainers’ specific to that race.
If you click the Win% column heading twice it will then bring up the stats in strike rate order be it Jockeys or Trainers.
