Champion jockey Blake Shinn continues to ride in peerless form and is set
for another successful day at Rosehill Gardens.

Shinn's results from his last 50 rides makes for stunning reading.

During this period, he has ridden 13 winners or a strike-rate of 26 per cent
winners to rides. He has also ridden 14 seconds and seven third placings.

*********************

I make it 14 winners, 14 seconds and 6 thirds, but let's not quibble.

 

The 14 winners have returned for $1 on each:

 

SP (SOP) 30.6

Best final price of the 10 bookmakers I monitor:  33.2

At my normalised 100% prices: 36.0

 

That is you lose a massive 39% at level stake SP and that's "astounding",
"stunning", peerless! In line with that is 7 of the 50 were odds on, and
only 3 won.

 

I'm not knocking Shinn, just the writer.
