Since 2021, Allan has ridden 297 career winners, and in the last twelve months alone he has racked up 75 from 654 rides — that's roughly 1 in every 9 races, or an 11% win rate. For context, 654 rides in a season is a serious workload. This isn't someone picking and choosing their spots; this is someone grinding through the card at tracks up and down the country, making things happen on horses that aren't always the most obvious winners.
The partnership that defines his career so far is with trainer Tim Easterby, one of the north's most prolific yards. Allan has ridden 57 winners for Easterby from 540 rides — again, that 11% figure, but the sheer scale of it matters here. Fifty-seven wins from a single training operation is a genuine working relationship, built on trust and repetition. When Easterby needs something delivered, Allan is clearly the first call. Hamilton Park is where that productivity sharpens into something more striking — 7 winners from just 35 rides at that track, a ratio that suggests he reads it particularly well.
What elevates Allan beyond a solid journeyman, though, is what he has done at the very top level. He has won five Class 1 races in his career — the elite tier of British racing, where the competition is as good as it gets. Those wins have come at Ascot, Redcar, Ripon and York, and two of them arrived within two days of each other in late August 2025. Winning a top-level race at York on 23 August and then another at Ripon on 25 August is the kind of form that makes people sit up and take notice. Add a win at Newmarket's July course in June 2025 and you have a jockey who, when the big occasions come around, is not found wanting.
Four years in, 297 winners, and five at the highest level. Allan is building something worth watching.
