With all the recent interest in betting on jockeys, perhaps this is worth a try?

Check the card and note the jockey who is riding the most horses which were winners last start. This is the jockey that you will be following today.

In the event of more than one jockey tying for selection, you will select the jockey who is currently the higher in the Jockey's Premiership in their home State.

Bet as follows:

1st ride – 1 unit
2nd ride – 2 units
3rd ride – 3 units etc…

Bet for a win.

STOP AT A WINNER

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Keep an eye on any “pick up” rides.

Can it be worse than anything else suggested?

You obviously were typing this as I was responding to the other post saying I would be more inclined to back for a win! How bizarre.

So who would we have been following yesterday and would we have won?

I thought you didn't like staking to chase loses?
Now I am confused.
But yes that would work too if you have the bank for it.

Hello all

Been slack in following this up but for those interested, the jockeys to support via this method on Saturday May 18 are:

Sydney....Corey Brown
Brisbane..Michael Rodd
Adelaide..Brett Prebble
Perth.....Paul Harvey

Hello everyone.

Just adding a twist to this jockey system enquiry..... setting up when to bet on an inform jockey or not

Take it or leave it here's the guidelines...
1) take the top four jockeys from the premiership table
2) find the pre post odd favourite for each race
3) match the jockeys to the prepost
4) back them for a place providing they pay more than $1.50

Today (18th May) I found these that qualify for the above rules (before finalising with the bet/minimum place dividend)

BR2 Canadian Time
BR6 Galroof
BR7 Lord Essex

SR1 Air of Grace
SR2 Thunder On
SR5 Provokes
SR6 We're Dancing
SR8 Salim's Tip

Good luck to everyone with today...

3 places for 6 bets with a negative return. ($5.30 back on Unitab). Maybe in the long term. Betting to win would have worked this time. The idea behind $1.50 minimum is to collect 3 in 4 to be ahead.

Just to continue with this plan to see if it holds just a little bit
25th May selections

Randwick
R1 1 Soprana
R2 5 Hillman
R4 3 Heptonstall
R6 1 Gone

Lots of jockeys have moved interstate so it's difficult to make judgements based on those rules set last weekend.

Good luck everyone.

In the end there were three place bets at $1.50+ and two came in paying a total of $3.40 on Unitab. Not quite full recovery if including last weekend's effort, getting there. One win as well. I have some other ideas from this... present it next week.

The "tune up" I will make to be more up to date with Jockey performance is to use the shortest average losing streak rate, instead of the premiership table which locks jockeys into their respective states. So this is the last of the picks I'll enter into this discussion as you can do it for yourself, but they did well last weekend, and are very similar to the initial sets.

MR6 3 Champagne Miss
SR1 2 Sampagaita
SR2 1 Robert Royal
SR4 1 Zabarra
SR6 1 We're Dancing
SR7 3 Kennett

AR4 2 Betta fortune
AR5 5 Crowned Love
AR7 3 Ikaros

PR1 1 Crown Witness
PR2 1 Dexian
PR5 1 King Luka
PR6 1 Old Fashion
PR7 6 Sunspark
PR8 15 Stockies's Yarn (seems to be P Harvey's day??)

Good Luck everyone.

Nice results this time and caught up that place deficit from last two weekends.

Based on Unitabe
MR6 3 Champagne Miss 2nd $2.50
SR1 2 Sampagaita
SR2 1 Robert Royal 1st $4.60 $1.70
SR4 1 Zabarra
SR6 1 We're Dancing 1st $3.40 $1.70
SR7 3 Kennett 3rd $3.20

AR4 2 Betta fortune
AR5 5 Crowned Love
AR7 3 Ikaros 1st $3.50 $1.80

PR1 1 Crown Witness 1st $1.90 $1.30
PR2 1 Dexian 1st $2.70 $2.10
PR5 1 King Luka 3rd $2.60
PR6 1 Old Fashion
PR7 6 Sunspark
PR8 15 Stockies's Yarn 1st $2.80 $1.70

overall 10 selections which were paying over $1.50 place minimum with 7 placing for $14.80 return. Wins did well and personally I prefer betting this way unless a place is paying ok.
