The ranks are compiled by comparing each jockey’s performance in three metrics – win percentage, earnings per start, and $2 wagering return on investment – to the average of the top 25 jockeys by starts at that track. The average of the top 25 at each track ranges from approximately 2.40 points to 2.70 points. The average for the top 121 riders — those with at least one win and at least 20 starts at at least one track — was 2.717.

Bravo ranked second on the list a week ago, while Gonzalez was third. Both were behind Jeremy Laprida, who after an 0-for-10 week has dropped from first to 12^th with 3.910 points.

Bravo and Gonzalez are followed by a pair of Charles Town-based riders in Arnaldo Bocachica (4.559 points) and Christian Hiraldo (4.515). Third and fourth this week, they ranked fourth and fifth a week ago.

A pair of riders based at Parx Racing are fifth and sixth in the rankings. Angel Castillo, with 16 wins from 78 starts, ranks fifth, while Mychel Sanchez, who leads that track in starts (133) and wins (32) is sixth with 4.373 points.

They are followed by Delaware Park-based Carol Cedeno. She has 38 wins from 168 starters, good for 4.019 points. Cedeno moved up from 14^th to eighth after a week in which she won with eight of 27 starters.

Feargal Lynch is the top Laurel Park-based rider, with 3.887 points and an overall rank of 14^th.

Only two riders are among the top 25 by starts at more than two tracks. Trevor McCarthy, who, remarkably enough, qualifies at four different tracks, ranks 15^th overall with 3.876 points. He has 52 wins from 233 starts. And Tyler Conner qualifies at three different tracks; his 17 wins from 142 starts have him ranked 61^st overall with 2.428 points.

The list includes all trainers among the top 25 by starters – including ties – at Charles Town, Colonial Downs, Delaware Park, Laurel Park, Monmouth Park, Parx Racing, and Penn National. It includes only races contested since May 15.
