There is a strong Irish flavour to the Cheltenham top jockey odds in 2022. Seven of the last eight leading riders at the Festival were based in the Emerald Isle, so it’s not just the best horses over there.
Since Ruby Walsh won the last of his 11 top jockey crowns at the meeting in 2017, four different riders scooped the honours. Success at Cheltenham in this particular market on horse racing betting sites is about quality over quantity. In this sense, one win isn’t more valuable than any other. It’s about who rides the most first past the post.
