Cian Fahy

The bulk of his experience has come through a working relationship with trainer John C McConnell, who has provided all 15 of those rides. That kind of consistent backing from a single yard matters more than it might look on paper. It means Fahy is learning on the job with familiar horses and familiar routines, which is exactly how most young jockeys find their feet before the winners start to come.

Fifteen rides without a win is not unusual for someone two years into a riding career — the question is whether the opportunities keep coming and whether the performances justify them. That first winner, when it arrives, will be the moment everything changes.
