Laura Mongan

Her most regular jockey is Luke Morris, who has partnered her horses 17 times and produced 1 winner between them — about 1 in every 17 rides. Morris is an experienced hand and a sensible choice for a smaller yard trying to make the most of limited ammunition. Her most notable horse is Regal Glory, though their partnership tells a similar story: 1 win from 28 races together, which underlines that this is a combination still searching for consistency rather than one that has found its rhythm.

When conditions are normal underfoot, Mongan's record reads slightly better — 1 winner from 27 runners, or roughly 1 in every 27 — but even that is modest. What is clear is that she is operating with a small string, placing horses regularly and gaining experience, which is exactly what the early years of any training career look like. The winners have not come in volume yet, but four years in is still early days, and the foundation is being built.
