Percy Jones

The most striking detail in his record is Wolverhampton. He has won 4 of his 12 races there — that's 1 in every 3, a dramatically better return than anywhere else he runs. For context, his overall win rate is 12%; at Wolverhampton it's 33%. That's not luck, that's a horse who clearly loves the track. His most recent win came there in August 2025, and he raced again just yesterday, so he is very much still in the mix.

Trainer Mark Loughnane, based at Rock Farm in Worcestershire, has sent out 25 winners this season, so Percy Jones is operating within a yard that knows how to get horses in the right races. Back in July 2022, before Percy had broken his duck, Loughnane was already talking him up — noting a strong second at Goodwood, a solid fifth in a competitive race at Haydock, and even floating the idea of taking him to Australia if he could move up a grade. That ambition hints at how the horse was regarded early in his career.

On the ground, Percy Jones is a creature of habit. He has won 4 of his 17 races on normal conditions — roughly 1 in 4 — which is well above his overall average. The partnership with Billy Loughnane, the trainer's son and a jockey with a growing reputation, has produced 3 wins from 11 races together, a win rate of 27%. When that combination clicks into place on a normal surface at Wolverhampton, it tends to go well.

His recent form reads 4-6-3-8-8-5, which isn't spectacular, but a fourth and a third in there suggest he's not far off. He hasn't won in his last six races, and the clock is ticking — but given his love of Wolverhampton and the fact he raced just yesterday, the next chapter could be closer than it looks.
