Quick Answer

Tracking trainer and jockey statistics helps identify profitable betting angles. Win percentage tells you how often they win, but ROI tells you if betting on them is profitable. A 25% trainer who wins at low odds may be less profitable than a 15% trainer whose horses pay better prices.

Key Metrics Explained

Win Percentage

Wins ÷ Starts. Shows how often they win. Industry average is ~9%. Elite trainers hit 20%+, top jockeys 15-20%.

ITM (In The Money)

(Wins + Places + Shows) ÷ Starts. Measures consistency. Useful for place/show betting strategies.

ROI (Return on Investment)

The real measure of profitability. Positive ROI means you'd profit betting every start. Most connections have negative ROI due to takeout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good trainer/jockey win percentage?

Top trainers win 20-25% of their starts. Elite jockeys can win 15-22%. The industry average is around 8-10%. However, win rate alone doesn't determine profitability—you need to track ROI alongside win percentage.

How do I calculate trainer/jockey ROI?

ROI = (Total Returns - Total Wagered) ÷ Total Wagered × 100. A $2 flat bet strategy helps compare connections fairly. Positive ROI means the connection is profitable to follow blindly (rare).

What is ITM (In The Money) percentage?

ITM percentage is (Wins + Places + Shows) ÷ Total Starts. This measures consistency. A 50% ITM rate means the horse finishes in the top 3 half the time—useful for place/show betting.

Why track trainer-jockey combos?

Some trainer-jockey combinations outperform either individual. They may have better communication, the jockey may know the trainer's horses well, or their styles may complement each other.
