Jockey & trainer research
Every horse has a jockey. Every horse has a trainer. Both deserve your attention.
A horse's previous performances are important, but the people behind those performances matter too.
HRBC lets you investigate jockeys, trainers and their partnerships, and examine their recent racing records.
Explore historical results, identify patterns and compare performances under different racing conditions.
All connected directly to your racecard.
1. Explore individual jockey records
Click any jockey's name on the racecard to investigate their recent riding history.
HRBC opens a dedicated research window covering the previous four weeks, excluding the race you're currently viewing.
Examine:
- Total rides.
- Number of winners.
- Number of placed horses.
- Win percentages.
- Place percentages.
- Individual race results.
- The horses they have ridden.
- Racecourses, distances and racing conditions.
Discover whether a jockey has been enjoying a successful period, struggling for results or performing particularly well under certain conditions.
Don't just look at who's riding. Investigate how they've been performing.
2. Investigate trainer performance
Click a trainer's name to explore the recent performances of horses from their stable.
HRBC provides a detailed record of their runners over the previous four weeks, together with an immediate summary of their results.
For example, the trainer shown in our screenshot, Robson De Aguiar, has:
- 29 runners
- 3 winners
- 12 placed horses
- 10.34% win rate
- 41.38% place rate
But those headline figures are only the beginning.
Examine individual runners, race dates, racecourses, distances, going, class, field sizes, finishing positions, pace, BSP rankings, weights and claims.
You can see exactly where those results came from rather than relying on a single percentage.
A trainer's form is more than a number. HRBC lets you explore the performances behind it.
3. Research jockey, trainer and horse partnerships
A jockey might have an excellent overall record but limited experience with a particular trainer.
A trainer might be enjoying a successful period, but how have their runners performed when partnered with today's jockey?
HRBC allows you to switch between four research perspectives:
- Jockey — the individual rider's recent performances.
- Trainer — the stable's recent runners and results.
- Jockey & Trainer — performances involving that particular partnership.
- Jockey, Trainer and Horse — results involving the complete combination.
These views help you investigate the people and partnerships associated with the horse you're researching.
Has this combination raced together before? What were the results? Were those performances achieved under comparable conditions?
The horse, the jockey and the trainer. Investigate the connections.
4. Filter results by race conditions
Overall statistics can be useful, but the circumstances behind them can be even more interesting.
HRBC lets you narrow historical jockey and trainer results using the conditions of the race you're studying.
Select:
- All — examine every qualifying performance.
- Course — investigate results at today's racecourse.
- Going — examine performances on today's going.
- Distance — explore results over today's distance.
- Class — investigate races in today's class.
- Race code — focus on the same racing discipline.
A trainer with an ordinary overall record might have a particularly interesting record at a specific racecourse.
A jockey's recent results over six furlongs might tell a different story from their overall performances.
HRBC gives you the ability to investigate those differences.
Move beyond the overall figures. Explore the conditions that matter.
5. Examine the individual race results
Every historical result provides more detail than a simple win or loss.
HRBC's research tables include:
- Race date and horse.
- Racecourse and distance.
- Race code, class and going.
- Number of runners.
- Early pace.
- Finishing style and beaten margin.
- Finishing position.
- BSP ranking.
- Weight carried and jockey claims.
These details allow you to examine how individual performances unfolded.
Was the runner prominent throughout? Did it lead before fading? Did it finish strongly? Was it narrowly beaten or well behind?
A series of results can reveal patterns that aren't obvious from the headline win percentage.
The statistics show what happened. The individual races help explain it.
6. Everything connected to your racecard
You don't need to conduct your research in isolation.
Start with a horse on the racecard.
Click its jockey or trainer to examine their recent performances.
Switch between individual records and partnerships. Filter by relevant race conditions. Explore the individual results.
Today's results, remaining rides and the horses still to come are in Daily jockey and trainer tracking.
HRBC doesn't tell you that a jockey or trainer will win their next race. It gives you the information to decide whether their next runner deserves your attention.
Four weeks of historical research. Jockey, trainer and partnership analysis.
Every runner. Every angle. One racecard.
