Trainer/Jockey Combination Win Percentage

There is a factor that I look at when delving deeper into the horses in a race and that is the Trainer/Jockey Combination Win Percentage.  I look at who has trained the horse, who will be riding the horse and importantly "How well have the Trainer and Jockey done together in the past?".  With Horsegrader, I only need to look at a single cell for the answer.  Let's look at the following Trainer screen snippet for an example:

 
From the Trainer screen snippet I can quickly determine that Bad Debt and Lighthouse Sound have a Trainer/Jockey Combination Win Percentage of 25% with a green thumbs up.  The best in this race.  And to prove my point, Bad Debt and Lighthouse Sound finished first and second!

One final tip before we conclude today is you can just hover over the horse's name to get the trainer and jockey for any horse as illustrated below:


With the hover-over popup I see that Michael J. Trombetta is riding Bad Debt.  There is no need to go to the Jockey or Trainer screen if you were just looking for the name.
