Best/Worst performing Jocks of 2014 season

Good stats Sylvester, but perhaps you should clarify that the % shown is the change in current years wins versus prior wins.

Meaning that for Latham, 14 versus 6, is an improvement of 8 wins.

Your calculations are spot on.

Two ways to calculate
1) 14 divided 6 less 1 multiplied by 100
2) 14 minus 6, divided by 6 multiplied by 100?

Quite an eye opener, in terms of jockey performance.

A suggestion, what would the stats look like if you were to do the same analysis for the previous seasons 8 months versus the current seasons 8 months, and then put those %'s alongside. Could paint a different picture.

Good stuff Sly - very interesting stats

I see you an excel fundi - LOL

This thread is highly misleading. The stats has nothing to do with the title.

The title should be something like ' Most improved jockey of 2014"....

If you look at the % column, you will note that it has been ranked from highest to lowest. Intended to show which jocks have improved, and those who have gone backwards, in terms of current year wins versus prior year wins.

Technicallity. Depends how you want to interpret it. Chat to Barry Roux.

Sean Cormack's stats will change during the KZN season....as will some of the lesser lights in KZN as the top jocks come to town. Reverse true WC and Gauteng....
