His most regular partner in the saddle is N G McCullagh, who has been aboard 23 times for just the 1 win between them. That is a thin return, but loyalty to a jockey through a lean spell often says something about a trainer's belief in what they are building together. Whether that faith gets rewarded in the coming months remains to be seen.
One genuinely encouraging detail sits inside the otherwise modest numbers: on wet, muddy ground, Weld has won 1 from just 3 races — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in every 3. That is a striking contrast to his overall figures and suggests he may have horses in his yard that come alive when conditions turn heavy. Any trainer who can find an edge in a specific set of conditions has something real to work with, and that is worth watching when the weather turns.
His standout partnership is with Morse, though even that has produced just 1 win from 16 races together. At this stage of Weld's career, the story is less about what he has achieved and more about what the foundations look like. The raw numbers are modest, but four years in is still early, and a specialism on soft ground is exactly the kind of quiet advantage that can grow into something meaningful over time.
