[AusRace] Jockeys generally

Wed Jan 23 07:31:58 AEDT 2019

Hey roman

Trust you are well and brought in the New Year with plenty of cheer.

Oddly enough my bathroom scales has a missing battery. Convenient😃

To the business at hand, I was just illustrating how the A2E method works
as a jockey rating method. The list is a small extract.

The reason for Hall having nothing for say 2400? is that I put a minimum of
50 rides.

Interesting you mention P Hall. My speed ratings had Star Exhibit rated on
top in the Perth Cup. If I had referred to the A2E list I would have been
tipped out. Lol.

I confess that I have dug into the A2E side of things many years ago.
Although I had no joy, I believe that Len incorporates A2E somewhere in his
setup. So does Nick A.

At their level you are also massaging a Fav Long Shot (FLS) bias factor
that would make my  list more accurate.

I stumbled across the FLS bias factor in my Dr Z readings. Although talked
about and quantified throughout the book I could not see the equation used.

Roman I can forward through the complete list if you were interested.

As an aside., personally I have yet to incorporate a Jockey adjustment to
my speed ratings. Or a trainer adjustment for that matter. I prefer to keep
them in their rawest state, for now.

That being said, I have toyed with an average beaten margin index. The goal
being to provide further separation / clarity to the ratings. As a rule of
thumb
I get say 3 speed points to a length. Ie it oscillates around 3 depending
on the distance and other factors. So I can easily multiply the index by
say 3, and simply add on. The strength of the jockey would be borne out in
the difference of the gross adjust.

Despite having a access database with 10 years of data. incorporating these
type of adjustments is like turning the Queen Mary around in Sydney
harbour.
Ideally you would be looking for a before versus an after set. My VBA
skills are as such, that I cannot whip up code to achieve the above in a
reasonable amount of time.

Best regards Sean
