MY time as a professional jockey has come to an end, and the next chapter of my career sees me in a different capacity in my new role working for RaceiQ – and I hope it’s a journey you will join me on.

RaceiQ’s mission is to bring a new level of data analysis to racing, alongside the rollout of sectional timing data across Ireland. One tool we will be using is the Finishing Speed Percentage (FSP), which uses the sectionals to calculate the speed a horse covers over the last half a mile of a race, as a percentage of its overall race speed.
