Mr A J Browne

That win rate is modest, but context matters here. A year into a riding career is early days by any measure, and simply getting into the saddle ten times in your first twelve months means someone believes in you enough to put you up. His most productive relationship has been with trainer Don Browne, who has handed him all ten of those rides and the one winner that came from them. Whether there's a family connection there or simply a trainer willing to give a young rider time and opportunity, it's the kind of working partnership that tends to define the early chapters of a jockey's career.

His most regular partner in the saddle has been West Of Carrig, a horse he has ridden in all ten of his races to date, landing that single win together. At this stage, Browne is very much a story at the beginning — one to check back in on in a year's time.
