Unusual jockey Booki

Good spot from the OP.

0/8 by the looks of it.

Thanks for that.

as with all stats, they either have a poor strike together... or they are due a winner.

I will suggest Shielas Well trained by Grant Tuer and to be ridden by Silvestre De Sousa in the 4.50 at Newcastle.

I find Tuer's stable very tricky to predict sparrow - though odd like you say, why they would book SDS for that one.

Looks very suss as a race - first and second favourites both Tuer.

Might be a leave alone race for me, that one!

Right stu, hadn't noticed Tuer had the second favourite as well but it still qualifies as an unusual booking.

Seems he's ridden 4 times for Tuer in last five years records, but won a grand total of 0 (one 2nd place) of those rides, interesting...

All 4 of the rides SdS has had for Tuer have all been this year - two in May and two in June.

SDS ride been backed off the boards!

Well quite - but both sides of this equation are laced with illogical bias. To rely on any statistics is to accept that yesterdays results have some bearing on today's outcome, regardless of the circumstances or conditions that prevailed in that set of results, or those that apply to today's race. It's like saying Crystal Palace haven't beaten (say) Wolves since 1962 (Made that up btw before anyone checks), different people, different circumstances. IMHO far too much credit is given to statistics. Today's result is part of tomorrow's statistics. It will change what those staistics look like, but you don't know how until it happens. (And 8 is ludicrously small sample even if you were minded to take heed of it).

Before anyone jumps on me for that, I acknowledge that some stats have relevance. But they very often don't, and its the ones that don't (where circumstances are unrelated) that I'm singling out here.

the worst stat i read is jockey P/L to level stakes. For one, no one backs any jockey's rides blindly for a whole season and two, the jockey may pick up a late spare that wins at a massive price that you only see in the next day's paper!

thegibbons, ironic mispelt thread name. Unusual jockey bookie, is the answer Graham Gibbons? Or Mulrennan? Or Dwyer?

wd sparrow!

Guess that's a 'Boom' for this then...

Did you back it sparrow?

No bet, stu.  I rarely bet short ones/

Ok, fair enough - would have been a good trade for free bet too, using this approach..

I've backed the Ridler, looked well two runs back. I'm taking a chance on the ground, never run well on it

Ran well enough on it, just not quite good enough for win...

Well done if you backed Sheilas well, What happened with the thread title misspelled
Was a Dropbox was in front when typing, couldn't get rid of it.I though I would be able
To edit it and correct it but there doesn't seem to be an
Option.
As regards the Jockey spotting J Doyle went to
Lingfield for One mount,but it was 4/7 so not for me.
I done Marquand for Fahey Ew so got money back
Thanks everyone for your input and if you spot
Anything don't be afraid to point it out
Best o luck, till later.

the one ride system certainly for a bigger jockey is always a good one, albeit the prices are often not.

Ok, What about Tom Marquand for Willie Mullins
435 leopardstown Saturday?

Good spot,gibbons.

Good spot,gibbons.

0/3

Desperate research

I see Billy Louchnane has one for him as well
But rich riccis horses last two runs have caught eyes.

I see T Jake's for Richard Fahey in the 555 Doncaster tomorrow!

Don't think he has before but over there for the Boughey
animal (2.50),I'd expect.

Thank you Penzance!

It's easy to be wise after the event.But but
435 leop How many times does Aiden o brien put up a claimer?

I see S levey for Ian jardine, that's a rare booking.
In the 340 Newmarket
