Although I won’t go into great detail about jockeys here, I thought it would be interesting to share the riders with an A/E index greater than 1.00 at the course (more than 100 rides). A graph showing their win, win, and placed (each way) strike rates at the course is provided below.
| Jockey Name | Win Strike Rate | E/W Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Rossa Ryan | 19 | 36 |
| George Rooke | 13 | 30 |
| Tony Hamilton | 13 | 30 |
| Faye McManoman | 8 | 23 |
| Lewis Edmunds | 13 | 29 |
| Jack Mitchell | 21 | 44 |
| Jason Watson | 17 | 37 |
| Callum Rodriguez | 15 | 35 |
| Fran Berry | 13 | 31 |
| Hector Crouch | 14 | 31 |
| Robert Winston | 16 | 33 |
| Sean Levey | 16 | 34 |
| David Nolan | 13 | 34 |
| Edward Greatrex | 14 | 33 |
| Finley Marsh | 12 | 36 |
| Martin Harley | 17 | 36 |
| Ali Rawlinson | 12 | 25 |
| Rob Hornby | 11 | 24 |
| Paul Mulrennan | 12 | 32 |
I have rounded the strike rates to the nearest whole number in order to avoid data overlap; If any of these jockeys were aboard a horse I wanted to win at Wolves, I would take that as a positive.
Wolverhampton Gender bias Each of the all-weather courses that have been studied thus far has shown gender bias; The figures for Wolverhampton are as follows:
| Sex | Runs | Wins | Win % | Win PL | ROI | A/E | IV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Female | 10942 | 979 | 8.95 | -3335.2 | -30.48 | 0.83 | 0.86 |
| Male | 21129 | 2446 | 11.58 | -4442.6 | -21.03 | 0.88 | 1.1 |
Again, men have an advantage in every area: A/E, IV, and win percentages
Similar to what we have observed at the other all-weather courses, females hold their own when comparing gender data from the top three betting positions: specifically, the male A/E index is 0.87, while the female one is 0.86; and SP returns reveal a difference of just 1p per £ between the two.
However, this is yet another pattern that we have previously observed: males typically outperform females at higher prices.
