His most meaningful working relationship so far is with trainer C W J Farrell, where 2 of those 3 winners have come from 15 rides together — a win rate of around 1 in every 7 or 8. That is a partnership worth watching. When a young jockey finds a yard that keeps putting him up, it usually means there is trust being built quietly behind the scenes, and Farrell clearly sees something worth persevering with.
One detail that stands out is his record on wet, slightly soft ground, where he has won 1 race from just 4 attempts — that is 1 in 4, or 25%, which comfortably outpaces his overall numbers. Small samples can mislead, but if that holds up over more rides, it suggests he may have a natural feel for horses on trickier ground, which is a useful skill to have in the British climate.
The partnership with Rememberthename has yet to click — three races together, no wins — but a fruitless run with one horse tells you very little about a jockey's ability, and this is still very early days. T A Halford is two years in, picking up winners, and deepening a productive connection with a trainer who keeps faith in him. That is a reasonable place to be.
