Why the jockey matters
A jockey is worth lengths, not just in the finish but in the middle stages β saving ground, timing the run and knowing when to hold. Australia's best riders post winning strike rates two to three times the average, and their booking is one of the fastest ways the market reassesses a horse. Every profile here covers riding style, famous wins and where their strength lies.
