What stands out, though, is what happens when the rain comes down. On wet or muddy ground, Harvey wins 2 from 7 races — that's nearly 1 in every 3, a figure that would turn heads even for a seasoned professional. For context, most jockeys at any level would be happy with 1 in 5 on a consistent basis, so winning at that rate in specific conditions is a genuinely useful weapon. Trainers notice these things. If Harvey can build a reputation as someone who gets results when the ground is soft, that alone can be enough to start attracting better rides and more opportunities.

At three years in, the clock is very much still on his side. The numbers are modest for now, but the wet-ground record suggests there is real ability here waiting for the right circumstances to show itself more often.
