Say you travel well and are near the back - It seems to me like 10-15% chance you will get gaps vs going for outside where you have much better chance. Just observed Mark Winn - another absolutely useless jockey sticking for run on inside when you basically have tired horses blocking you.

How many times has a jockey stayed on the inside and won after getting a passage who could have chosen the outside route and got beat. Nobody has a clue of knowing  |

The answer is when you are on an outsider, and you actually need luck to win the race.
As I said on the recent Marquand thread on anything else it's about keeping the amount of luck to a minimum. Yes, sometimes the rider will get away with it, but should they be even trying to get away with it. |
