Highest strike rate
The share of rides that win — among jockeys with at least 1,500 rides, so it reflects sustained class rather than a hot fortnight.

As with the trainers, a high strike rate isn't a profit. The best jockeys ride the best horses, which go off short — back them blind and you still pay the over-round (see how often each price wins). This is for reading a race, not a system.
