Who was the most successful rider at Sandown today? I've taken the SuperTAB prices for all the mounts of today's winning riders, converted these to a normalised percentage chance, then combined these to get the riders expected number of winners. Obviously Steven Arnold had a nice day with 2 winners, but how much better was it than the other winning riders? Well quite a bit, in fact he rode 513% more winners than the normalised SuperTAB price of his mounts would suggest. Dean Yendall was the most successful of the riders with a single win, and Cory Brown failed to reach his expected number of winners but only by a little bit.

Arnold, S20.326513%
Brown, C11.274-21%
Hall, N10.50797%
Newitt, C10.88213%
Williams, C10.75033%
Yendall, D10.324209%


Naturally one days results mean nothing really but I thought this might be an interesting way of comparing who's "better" than who.
