Across his 12 rides so far, Malone is yet to ride a winner. That is not unusual for a jockey this early in their career. The sport has a long history of riders who took time to get off the mark before finding their feet, and 12 races is a very small sample from which to draw any firm conclusions. What the record does tell you is that he is getting rides, which is the essential first step — trainers have to trust you enough to put you on their horses before anything else can happen.
His most regular association has been with trainer Chris Timmons, for whom all 12 of his rides have come. Building a close working relationship with one yard this early is actually a sensible way to develop — you get to know the horses, the trainer's expectations, and the rhythms of the job without being pulled in too many directions at once. He has also had three races alongside the same horse, Kayamite, which suggests a degree of trust from that team in keeping the partnership together rather than switching riders after each run.
There is simply not enough in the record yet to say what kind of jockey Malone will become. The only honest summary is this: he is new, he is getting opportunities, and the first winner is still to come.
