A real response from /v1/jockeys/jk_1ABH146/trainers, captured by calling the live API rather than written by hand.

Response fields

Each field is described once and rendered on every endpoint that returns it, so the wording cannot drift between pages.

FieldTypeWhat it is
jockey_id string Opaque jockey identifier.
jockey string Rider name.
window string How far back and forward that plan can read.
runs integer Rides in the slice, priced or not.
priced integer Rides carrying a starting price. A/E and the profit figures use these; runs is the wider count.
first integer Wins.
second integer Seconds. Positions are returned separately so you apply your own place terms.
third integer Thirds.
fourth integer Fourths.
win_pct number Wins over runs. The number everyone quotes and the one that tells you least.
top3_pct number First, second or third over runs. Not a place strike rate; place terms vary.
expected_wins number Wins the market implied, summed over the slice.
a_e number Actual wins over expected. Above 1.00 means winning more often than the prices said.
a_e_range array Ninety five percent interval on A/E. If it spans 1.00 the figure is not evidence of anything.
a_e_beats_market boolean True only where the whole interval sits above 1.00.
significant boolean Whether the interval excludes 1.00 in either direction.
low_sample boolean Fewer than five expected wins. Treat A/E as noise.
pl_1pt number One point on every runner, settled at starting price.
roi_pct number Level stakes return. Backing everything loses more than the book margin, because equal stakes overweight the longshots.
trainer string Trainer name.

Errors this endpoint returns

CodeStatusWhen
unauthorized 401 No key, or one we do not recognise. Check the header name and that the key has not been rotated from your account page.
upgrade_required 403 The endpoint returns computed statistics and your plan does not include them. The body names every plan that does reach it, so you never have to look it up.
not_found 404 The identifier is well formed but nothing has it. Distinct from invalid_id, which means the identifier itself is wrong.
invalid_id 422 The prefix does not match the kind of thing the path expects, or the identifier is malformed. A horse id passed where a race is wanted lands here rather than returning the wrong race.
invalid_param 422 A date that is not YYYY-MM-DD, a by= dimension we do not have, or a cursor that did not come from us. The message names the parameter.
rate_limited 429 Past your per-minute rate. Retry-After is set, and X-RateLimit-Remaining tells you where you stand on every successful response too.
server_error 500 Ours, not yours. Every response carries a request_id; quote it and we can find the exact request.

What this is for

Which yards a rider does well for, as a full statistics block per trainer.

This is the same pairing as /v1/trainers/{id}/jockeys viewed from the other end, and the two answer different questions. From the trainer's side you are asking which rider gets the best out of these horses. From here you are asking which yards supply this rider with horses that beat their prices.

A retained rider will have one row with almost all the rides in it. The rows worth reading are the outside yards, where a booking was a choice rather than an arrangement.

Common uses

Reading an unusual booking

A yard that rarely uses this rider, with a good record when it does.

Understanding a career

Where the rides came from over the archive, and which of those relationships actually paid.
