Statistics

It is the same table as in the Owner and Trainer menus, but here it counts the horses you ride.

Reading it in full — the four views, the columns, and the few traps of the Earnings view — is described once and for all in Owner — Statistics. This page says only what a jockey gets out of it.

What it teaches you about your rides

The Speciality view is the most useful one for you, because the three disciplines are not ridden in the same way: trotting has its faults, hurdling its falls, the flat neither one nor the other. Seeing at a glance how your rides are spread out tells you where you have experience, and where you have none yet.

The Age view says something else here than at the trainer's: a jockey who only rides made horses does not learn the same things as one who breaks in young ones. Both are careers, but they are not the same.

And the Earnings view places the level of the horses entrusted to you — it is the most direct indicator of your reputation as a jockey.

Beware of the Runs column

It is not the count of your races. It counts all the races of the horses you ride today, including those they ran before you, with another jockey in the saddle.

For a jockey, it is the most misleading gap of the three professions: you change rides far more often than an owner changes horses. A horse taken over at the end of its career arrives with dozens of races that are not yours.

So read that column as the experience of the horses you have in hand, and not as your record. Your record is to be found in the rankings, and race by race in My races.

A limit to keep in mind

The table counts the horses you ride today. A horse you led to victory and then gave back to its owner no longer appears in it. It is not a record of achievements, it is a state of play.
