Matrix report highlights in-form jockeys 53.9% win yesterday
We know that the top 4 WRat rated runners in the Wizard Matrix report win some 70% of races. In this Daily Report I have discussed (selection) options you might consider that can give you an additional edge over less well-informed punters.
Here is something else that might be of interest to you, in that regard.
In the Matrix report, in the far-right column headed Jk50% you will find a percentage. This percentage is drawn from a special jockey form look-up facility in the Wizard, which shows the details of each jockeys last 50 rides, and the win percentage from those 50 rides. It is that win percentage which is included in the Matrix First Four report.
If applying this factor, I would suggest you set a minimum percentage that a rider should be recording for a horse to qualify as an indicated runner in a race. If all other jockeys are in single digits, then a jockey with 10% or better would be the one to qualify. If there is more than one jockey with a percentage greater than 10% obviously the jockey with the highest figure is the qualifier. The other qualifying condition is that the highest percentage must be clear-cut, not equal highest.
Here is an example:
In this race Bergasun is the MaxR 100 pointer and in the Jk50% column the jockey is showing a 26% win strike rate in the last 50 rides. Bergasun is a qualifier
So far, the results for this week are:
| This week | wins | races | win % |
| Monday | 1 | 4 | 25.0% |
| Tuesday | 4 | 6 | 66.7% |
| Wednesday | 7 | 13 | 53.9% |
| Thursday | 7 | 13 | 53.9% |
When it comes to betting and selecting, we are always on the look-out for an edge. Wizard aims to be the racing information service that gives you that edge.

Wizard Ratings, Raceday, Matrix, and Selectives Results
We publish these full results daily so that subscribers can see the results of the Wizard's ratings options, and Report-content, and thereby formulate a selecting and betting strategy that suits them individually. The Wizard ratings should not be seen as "tips", rather as objective assessments that can be used to inform one's own judgement as to the relative chances of the runners in a race.
The full day-by-day results for Wizard (Wrat) top 4 rated runners, the Raceday Qualifier, and the Matrix (MaxR) 100 pointer and the MaxR top-two this week so far. The (4 weeks) column shows the results for the four weeks prior to the current week and the 2023-2024 column shows the WRat results for the full 2023-2024 racing season. This results summary is colour coded so that it is easier for readers to track the relative performance of the Top Rated (blue) and Top-Two Rated (green) ratings options on a daily, and longer term, basis.

(Note: The Wrat [W] winner results report on both the top rated and top-two rated winners.) The Raceday Report winners under the Top Rated column are from those races where there was only one Raceday qualifier, and under the Top 2 Rated on the rare occasions where there were two qualifiers in a race.
