Which jockeys and trainers at Parx Racing have been hot? Funny you should ask: we wondered the same thing.

So we created a quick-and-dirty metric for the handicappers among us. The metric includes wins, win percentage, and wagering return on investment in one number. To limit it to who’s hot, we’ve included data from just the past 50 or so days — since February 12, 2021.

JOCKEYS EN FUEGO

Rider RUben Silvera continues to have the hot hand at Parx Racing, and over the last seven weeks or so, he’s compiled a score of 126 that has him well ahead of the rest of the colony, with only Frankie Pennington (102) joining him in triple digits.

Silvera has a colony-leading 31 wins during the period, and he’s winning at a Parx-best clip of 25.4%. He also has a +2% wagering ROI. Pennington is second in wins with 23 and is winning at a 22.1% clip.

They’re followed by Jaime Rodriguez (16 wins, 17.8% strike rte), Mychel Sanchez (21 wins), and Jeremy Laprida (14 wins, +2% ROI).

The track’s ROI leader is just outside the top five with an overall score of 83. That’s Jonathan Ocasio, who has nine wins (12.5% strike rate) and a gaudy ROI of +125%.

The average score of all riders at Parx was 46.7.
