Miss Abigail Henry(7)

The "(7)" beside her name is worth explaining: it means she currently claims a 7-pound weight allowance, the largest available to an apprentice jockey. In practical terms, that makes horses she rides carry less weight than they would with a fully qualified jockey — a real incentive for trainers to give young riders a chance. It is the racing world's way of saying "this person is learning, give them a shot." With just one ride to her name, Miss Henry is firmly at the very beginning of that journey, and everything interesting about her career is still ahead of her.
