Miss Becky Smith

Her most consistent source of rides has been trainer Micky Hammond's yard, where she has partnered horses 15 times and picked up 1 winner — a win rate of around 1 in every 15. That relationship matters in this sport. Trainers who keep putting a jockey up through a lean spell are a vote of confidence, and Hammond continuing to use her suggests there is belief in what she can do on the right day.

That right day tends to come on fast, dry ground. In those conditions, Smith has won 1 from just 6 races — a rate of roughly 1 in 6, which is genuinely strong and stands out sharply against her overall numbers. It hints that when the conditions suit, she is capable of riding at a noticeably higher level. The hope for the rest of her season is that the ground dries out and the opportunities line up.
