Post Jockey Dat File, what are these numbers?
Alexis Batista
8,2 <-----
Eliska Kubinova
7,11 <------

What do those #s represent? Are jockeys ranked based on their placement in the file, ie. Best first list, and so on

Also any idea why during my US Sims, Victor Espinosa wins jockey of the year every year with a 14% win and 0 G1s or 2s?

Thats the weight of the jockey so if you put a jockey who weighs 8,2 on a horse that should be carry 7,11 In a handicap you are actually putting weight on your horse that he should not be carrying.

It's their weight in stones and lb, so alexis Batista would be 8 stone, 2lb. Jockey rankings will be based on number of winners, as is done in UK.

You can display the weights in kgs if you prefer (in the options menu).

Where are these ratings or are you talking about their in game wins?

I'm trying to create a file of All Time Leading Jockeys but I'm not sure how/where they are rated?

1)Should I give lower weights to the better jockeys?
2)Should I list them in order of skill to get ratings?

UPDATE**
After messing with this file all day it seems that the Top/First on the list Jockeys get most of the group/graded races and those lower on the list get the most wins. I guess this is realistic but it would help to be able to sort jockey stats because all the best jockeys are buried due to low start #s.
