Interesting Jockey Statistics - Saratoga 2015

[ScottJ]

Diving into the jockey statistics now that the first half of Saratoga 2015 has shown some interesting facts. Thus far, there have been 1768 mounts including all races thus far.

The top 4 jockeys (based on wins, Ortiz Jr, Velazquez, Castellano, Ortiz) have collectively had 512 mounts, 29% of those available. From those mounts, they have accounted for 47.5% of the total wins. If you look at the top 8 jockeys, we have 910 total mounts for 51.5% of all mounts accounting for 74% of the total wins at the meet.

As mentioned yesterday, imported jockeys from the Kentucky circuit have been struggling including Lanerie, Leparoux, and Hernandez, a collective 2-for-151 starting Day 21. Jara, Cintron, Arroyo, and Franco (surprisingly) are a combined 4-for-172.

Carmouche (6-for-70), Bridgemohan (6-for-61), Cruz (4-for-39), Lopez (3-for-24), and Cancel (6-for-85) have done well to scratch out wins beating expectations in many cases.
