The majority of his experience so far has come through trainer Adrian Sexton, who has put him up in all 16 of his races to date. That kind of loyalty from a trainer is worth noting. In a world where jockey bookings can be ruthlessly pragmatic, a trainer who keeps coming back to the same young rider is usually doing so because they see something worth developing. The winners haven't arrived yet, but the opportunity is there.
Lamon has also built a small partnership with a horse called Sonny Fella, riding together three times. No wins so far, but repeated bookings on the same horse suggest a working relationship that the team believes in. The first win, when it comes, has a decent chance of arriving in that familiar combination.
A year in, no wins yet, and still getting rides — that, in itself, is a career in progress rather than a career in trouble. The scoreboard will change.
