His most regular partnership is with trainer William Knight, and on paper the numbers are blunt: just 1 win from 32 races together, which is a 3% win rate. That's a working relationship built more on trust and consistency than results right now, and it's the sort of stat that doesn't make headlines — but plenty of jockeys grind through patches like this before things click.
Where Wilkie does show something more promising is on normal ground conditions. In those circumstances this season he's won 3 from 26 races, a 12% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 8 — nearly double his overall average. That's a meaningful difference, not a quirk of small numbers, and it suggests he does find an extra gear when conditions are straightforward rather than testing. It's a detail worth filing away.
Sixty-three career winners in four years is a solid foundation. He's not among the top names in the weighing room yet, but he's done enough to keep getting rides, and at 7% this season there's clearly work to do to get back to where he was. The next few months will be interesting.
