The Betsy Power Rankings are in! The ranking looks back at performance of the last 90 days, considering a range of factors to help identify the most ‘in-form’ hoops across the country.

Strike rate is important, but the power rankings consider a range of other factors to come up with a ranking you can trust ahead of your weekend on the punt.

National Jockey Power Rankings – Top 20
The Betsy Power Rankings combine a range of factors, including recent strike rates, volume of wins/places, profitability (all important for punters!), and prizemoney earned amongst other factors. Prizemoney has been given the lowest weighting, as these Power Ranking are designed to identify the jockeys that punters can back with confidence at the moment, irrespective of that winner being at Home Hill or Flemington. The leader is benchmarked at 100, with all others rated relative to that standard. (Minimum 20 rides.)

20 Erica Byrne Burke 64 26 5 19.2 53.8 163.85

Not surprisingly, James McDonald is the benchmark hoop, with his prizemoney and significant wins boosting him up the table. Celine Gaudray (77) and Dylan Gibbons (72) are the punters’ pals with really strong Profit on Turnover (PoT). The balance of established stars and emerging talent makes this spring’s jockey battle one to watch.
