THE JUMP OUTS
The Team
We, Jordan and Braeden, have been watching and analysing the jump outs for several years now, officially teaming up as '@TheJumpOuts' on Twitter in January 2019. As what started as a Twitter page to send out some tips to all of our mates with ease, we tipped some debutants at nice prices and the Twitter community quickly grew. At the time, finding a Victorian jump out involved going to each individual clubs website and manually searching, so with 30+ country/metro racing clubs the process was extremely tedious - because there wasn't this platform to quickly access and search for jump out results and replays, we created The Jump Outs!!
Jordan
Where did it begin?
I remember sitting at home one day watching the races and seeing a first starter get majorly backed in and the commentator was talking about its ‘jump out’. Due to my curiosity, I went and found the horses jump out and from that day on I was watching all the jump outs, mainly Cranbourne when no names were entered and following all the horses with only the trainers description and vision to go off. It was like an underground scene of horse racing that the bookmakers knew nothing about. It was the best way to find value.
​
First bet on a Horse found from the Jump Outs:
Daskarzine. This horse was the plunge horse mentioned above. She was heavily backed on debut in March 2018 where she hit her head upon jumping and finished last. I found her jump out after the race and followed her. Next start she ran at Mornington and won at an SP of $26… from then on I was hooked and felt like I had a sneaky strategy to find winners.
​
Biggest betting plunge:
I backed Fortune Rose on the back of a nice jump out - she opened $101+ but plunged to start $7 (with minor deductions). I backed her E/W and she of course ran 4th for no return…. the hardest pill to swallow was seeing her win her next start. Unfortunately, all of the plunges I’ve been a part of haven't won, the overs god is never kind.
​
Favourite Horse from the Jump Outs:
Definitely Eduardo. At the time, he was a 5yo first starter with an ‘unknown trainer’ and he opened up $26… there were some deductions of course, which hurt as he was never going to get beat. He won by 6L (replay) and it was a mirror of his jump out. One of our great friends designed our Logo and we supplied a photo of Ed for him to copy, if you look closely you can see the white baldy strip. Who would've thought he'd eventually become one of the world's best sprinters... he’s a super horse!

Braeden
Where did it begin?
Jordan came to me on June 11 in 2018 with a horse by the name of Leelavadee who was running at Mornington in a BM64. I had no idea about the jump outs, but I backed him in and chucked $5 on at $36 (the usual bet at the time) - the mare would then sneak up the inside rail and win by 0.5L (replay)!!! From there, my interest in the jump outs was born.
​
First bet on a Horse found from the Jump Outs:
A month after Leelavadee I was able to return the favour with Alfa Oro, my first ‘tip’ from the Mornington jump outs who would go on to bolt in by 6L at Pakenham in 2018 (replay), with us boys getting a nice $6 early. He turned out to be quite a handy horse!
​
Biggest betting plunge:
Have been on the wrong end of some big plunge’s, but the most notable was definitely I’m A Shampion who I backed at the $51 open price on TAB before she was crunched into $3.50 (you can read the Punters article here). She was eventually scratched though and is now retired with a career record of 10-1:0:2, breaking her maiden at her seventh start (not her debut...).
The biggest plunge that actually ran would’ve been Areyoulistening. Got the $51 opening price on TAB, started $5 and was just overran late when almost leading the whole way - beaten by less than ½ a length… sickening.
Favourite Horse from the Jump Outs:
Miami Bound from the Flemington jump outs. I got a good early price for the Oaks ($11 - she won as a $4.20 SP favourite) and was on her every start leading up to that race (she won 4 of 6 that prep), including me declaring her in the Group 2 Wakeful at $8.
