Index highlights riders who deliver wins, consistency and profitability, with prizemoney recognised in the score (not displayed).
Not surprisingly, James McDonald is the benchmark hoop, with his prizemoney and significant wins boosting him up the table. That said, he isn’t exceeding market expectations with a negative ROI through the period. Celine Gaudray has continued her good form, both in Vic and over the border in South Australis while Clint Johnson-Porter is an ongoing force in Western Australia.
