We are coming to the end of the season and I thought why not have a quick look at some of the premierships from around the state.
I will simply go over the Jockey or trainers winners for the season so far and their respective strike rates.
METROPOLITAN TRAINERS
R.Heathcote – 60 – (15%) s/r
J.Thompson – 48 – (13%)
K.Schweida- 29 – (15%)
B.Baldwin – 25 – (15%)
K. Wood – 21 – (25%) – What a strike rate!
METROPOLITAN JOCKEYS
MUNCE- 91 – 19%
BYRNE- 46 – 11%
COLLESS- 42 – 14%
HAMMERSLEY- 36 – 12%
PROVINCIAL TRAINERS
T.GOLLAN – 52 – 22%
KENDRICK- 46 – 21%
M.NOLAN- 44 – 20%
CHELLEMI- 35 – 19%
*A mention of Ben Currie who has had 18 winners but of a strike rate of 32%
PROVINCIAL JOCKEYS
MISSEN- 83 – 21%
GRIFFEN- 68 – 16%
BOGENHUBER- 55 – 18%
MUNCE- 49 – 19%
BROWNE- 49 -28%
COUNTRY TRAINERS
Todd Austin- 49 – 19%
Denise Ballard- 28 – 25%
Richard Simpson- 25 – 18%
Patrick Inwood- 23 – 18%
COUNTRY JOCKEYS
Danny Ballard- 40 – 31%
David Rewald- 29 – 16%
Ian Toward- 28 – 23%
Graham Kliese- 22 – 23%
Trinity Bannon- 22 – 18%
Obviously it looks as though Heathcote and Munce will again be our metrop premiers. Most of the leader boards look pretty clear cut, but racing is a funny game, so we will wait and see what happens.
I will place the winners up when the season finishes.
