As I understand it the winner of Ladies Flat Jockey Championship is the jockey with the highest win to runner ratio who has ridden 30 or more winners. Looking at the betting surely it's worth chancing a few of the outsiders as though Hayley T and Cathy G are going to ride most winners, they may not have highest win ratios.
Stuck a few small bets on: Amy Ryan 33/1 PP Julie Burke 50/1 Slybet
Cathy Gannon only had a 9% ratio last year so really has little chance of winning it. Hayley is obvious fav as she had a 15% strike rate but above 2 could go close to that
Julie Burke rode 26 winners last flat season (11% strike rate), good chance she could make it past 30 and so could be in the mix if she improve strike rate. Amy Ryan only rode 17 winners (13% strike rate) last flat season but has done better on the AW this winter (5 wins from 30 rides) and will likely be getting many more opportunities this season
True Sint, just seems like bookies are pricing the market up on who will get most winners, but that's not necessarily going to be the jockey that wins the title

It (Ladies Jockey's Title) is divided into three sections - with the gold award going to jockeys riding over 30 winners, silver to those partnering 10 to 29 winners and bronze to those clocking up nine or less victories.
The prizes will be £5,000, £3,000 and £1,000 for each respective level and the winners will be decided by the best winners-to-rides ratio in each section.

Barring injury, Hayley still looks the likely winner imo. You couldnt be sure anyone other than Hayley or Cathy will ride 30 winners, and of those that do Hayleys strike rate is almost certain to be the best. The problem the others will have is that if they chase 30 winners their strike rate is likely to suffer. That said, i think they have priced it up on number of winners and that makes me want to find an angle on one of the outsiders.
