One of the problems with all these stats is that jockeys take money independently of the horses they ride.
We have to make sure what we want our metric to measure.
Do we want to measure betting value or do we want to measure riding skill?
A great rider could wind up on a lot of underlays because he's so popular. So the fact that his horses under-perform their odds may say nothing about his skill.
