jockey-trainer
IMHO, the original post by GL45 raises a valid point which seems to have been ignored. Some of the most astute handicappers on the track are jockeys' agents. If a high percentage jockey gets on a horse trained by a low percentage trainer, that is something to pay attention to, especially if that jockey never rides for that trainer. The agent must have seen something in the horse or the setup of the race to warrant giving the horse a ride. Remember, the better jockey usually has a choice of horses to ride and I think it is significant when this situation arises.
