ngakonui grass Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Billy Jacobsen rides KINGFISHER to win 10/2 and in 3 starts since without him on top it hasn't paid a divy. Makes you wonder what goes on with their jock selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the start after the win, I rate superior to the winning run also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) I have his last two runs both equal to his winning run and his best lifetime performances. Edited April 14 by curious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, this is one of the harder things general punters struggle with. Looking at placings as opposed to performance. It is the same issue with many of the stats that punters use. It is unknown as to the performance of the placings that relate to the stat. Another good reason not to use stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I don't use place position in previous runs in my assessment of chance at all. No idea what that has to do with it or how I could use it to assess chance in the current event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardigras Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hey @ngakonui grass, how did the Jacobsen factor work out with Little Bit Of Love - same trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take average performances in middle grade handicap races here through the so-called tiers, the winners performance on industry days is the same as that on feature or premier days. Only difference tends to be that the horse that finished 8th on a feature day say, might have run 3rd on the industry day because of the difference in the performance quality through the depth of performance quality in the fields respectively. The actual placing has nought to do with that. Edited April 14 by curious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
