Best Value Jockeys in the Country
To qualify they must average at least 500 mounts a year for the last five years:
#1: Miguel Perez - $2.31 #2: Kerwin Clark - $2.09 #3: Joel Rosario - $1.99 #4: Paco Lopez - $1.97 #5t: Alan Garcia - $1.95 #5t: Leandro Goncalves - $1.95 #7: Alonso Quinonez - $1.94 #8: Huber Villa-Gomez - $1.90 #9: Jose Lezcano - $1.88 #10t: Erik Rodriguez - $1.87 #10t: Diego Saenz - $1.87 Everyone else is below $1.82 - a ton of guys are in that $1.60 to $1.75 range. As for the worst ... Phil Teator's $1.09 edges out Inosencio Diego's $1.12 - but .. considering that Diego somehow achieved his $1.12 with over 4,000 total mounts .. he probably deserves the title of worst value in the land.

Kerwin Clark shows a gigantic profit at Evangeline like every single year and he's been there for a long time.
How old is that guy? He rode Dispersal a couple of times. He's got to be a senior citizen.

Going into 2008 - he was finishing in the top 3 with 45% of his mounts and his average odds at post time were 16/1 - and this from a sample of over 1,000 races. You're lucky if you see Rosario at 16/1 twice a week anymore ... and when you do, the horse probably is going to have the look of a 25/1 shot or more on paper.

Complete waste of talent I guess. Only made one half hearted attempt to make it at a major circuit .. went 2-for-20 in Southern Cal and left. In 2004, he rode 592 races - 14% wins - $2.65 ROI - the vast majority of these numbers compiled in Northern California at Golden Gate and Bay Meadows. Eventually left No. Cal for New Mexico. Zia Park: 2009: 22-for-112 ($2.42 ROI) 2008: 36-for-176 ($2.55 ROI) 2007: 19-for-80 ($4.22 ROI) Sunland Park: Profitable four of the five years he's ridden there He moved his tack to Emerald Downs this year for some reason ... At Emerald: 16-for-90 $3.43 ROI Not counted in any of these stats - In 2007, he won 40 of 172 quarter horse races - and had a $2.64 ROI

Some guys like smaller tracks, less scrutiny, not unlike people who can't play sports in NY.

It's not like Kerwin Clark at EVD or Calvin Borel at CD ... where some shady Cajun jock has taken complete ownership of a certain one race track .. and it's like they aren't that good everywhere else. I'd be more cynical about guys like Inosencio Diego and Marlon St. Julien - who consistently pound out numbers too bad to be true.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of posters here who would say all these numbers are completely irrelevant.
