Fat Jockey Selection Analysis

If I were to select 4 using this method it would have to be

Porlock Bay (12/1 B365) - Foxhunters
Chemical Energy (12/1 B365) - Martin Pipe
Death Duty (25/1 B365) - Kim Muir
Fusil Raffles (20/1 B365) - Plate

The top 3 came out clear above everything else and I'd be confident in them having solid place claims at least. In fourth spot I'd love to have JWM for the bartlett, mostly because I'm heavily invested in that result myself, but everyday it appears less likely, so Fusil is a decent sub at the prices

That’s good enough for me.
I would also suggest this gets added to the monthly yankees as a mid month addition.
Excellent work here…
 
SharpHat Fantastic write up there - thanks for putting the work in.

Excellent summary of the forums views at this point - presumably most of the most regular posters made an entry so should be fairly representative.

Thanks again
 
Is it easy to see if anyone had every single 'most popular' pick?

I can't even remember what I had tbf
 
Yeah this is a great idea, we would have to be abit stricter with making sure people follow the set format when posting tho otherwise it would become a right ballache

Agreed. Something like a Google forms or Google sheets would be ideal I reckon. If the options could be synced up to oddschecker in the form of a dynamic list or something like that it could actually be really simple to just set up a thread at four times across the year (e.g. post-punchestown, pre-showcase meeting, post-xmas, post-drf) and then work from those lists. I'd like to think we could get 50+ responses at each time point which could give some decent results. Just a thought - would need someone smarter than me to set up the Google Doc anyway!
 
I really like this. Great stuff, sharpHat, thank you. I've been meaning to get Gowel Road, Chemical Energy and Death Duty onside, and this has made my mind up for me - singles and a trixie it is.

BTW only 3.75% for ADV in the mare's novice?

That surprised me as well... although I've double checked and I also went for Brandy Love!

Maybe it was when PT had chosen to ride!
 
That really is superb analysis. I can’t imagine how long this would’ve taken you too.
 
Great read Sharphat, fair play for putting all that effort in:eagerness:
 
Some incredible work here SharpHat. Must have taken lots of time, thank you

Just been back and checked this and you're right, the percentage for ADV was incorrect i've updated it now, it was due to the many, many different spellings of Allegorie De Vassy :highly_amused:

Incase ryanh97 or SharpHat (can't tag you for some reason) want this in future... I made a Google Form which pulls the data from the Oddschecker stuff I do. Feel free to use it in future :encouragement:​​​​​​​

That's weird. It showed up in my notifications that you've tagged me, but my name isn't underlined. One for Kevloaf i think

Sharphat, you're tagged into everyone's posts on this thread because you started the thread, there's no need for anyone to tag you in posts because you should see a notification everytime someone posts something here:encouragement:
 
It'll haunt you forever.
