Gianluca Sanna has been riding professionally since 2021, and over four years in the saddle he has built a career total of 20 winners — a solid foundation for a jockey still finding his feet at this level. This season, though, has been a tough one. He has managed just 1 winner from 28 rides, which works out at roughly 1 in every 28 races — and that represents a real step back from last year, when he was winning at closer to 1 in every 14. That kind of dip is worth paying attention to: it suggests either a run of bad luck, trickier rides, or both.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most striking number in his recent record is his partnership with trainer Seb Spencer. Nineteen rides together, zero wins. That is an unusually long drought for a regular combination, and at some point both jockey and trainer will be hoping the partnership starts to pay off — because 19 races is a long time to wait. When things do click for Sanna, normal ground seems to suit him best: he has won 1 from 9 races in those conditions this season, an 11% win rate that is comfortably his strongest return and more than double his overall average. That tells you he is capable of delivering when the circumstances are right.
At 4% overall this season, Sanna is clearly going through a difficult spell. But four years in, 20 career winners on the board, and a clear preference for normal conditions — there is enough here to suggest a jockey who knows what he is doing and is simply waiting for things to turn.
