What about jockeys. I found a lone early horse a couple months ago at sax or hol and I bet on it. I watched the race and I couldn't believe on how bad the horse ran. It ran more like a sustain horse than early. I then checked the jockey and saw that he has had 60 mounts and still did not have a winner, a second or a third.

I look at these types of stats also. I know we are mainly concerned about the horse, but when I come across such negative trainer or jockey stats that you illustrate I will think twice before betting on a horse unless the odds justify the risk. Joe Tackach used to have a list called "Prolific Losers" where he profiled trainers and jockeys.
Some of the records were horrendous.
