The numbers this season are honest rather than spectacular — 39 winners from those 709 rides means he's winning roughly 1 in every 18 races, or around 6%. To put that in context, a jockey winning 1 in 10 is considered very good, so Hardie is operating in solid journeyman territory: reliable, experienced, and always competing, even if the big-race headlines haven't come in large numbers yet.
Where things get more interesting is his partnership with trainer Antony Brittain. From 185 rides together they've produced 18 wins — that's just under 1 in every 10, or 10%, which is meaningfully better than his overall average. When a jockey doubles his win rate with one particular yard, it usually means something real is happening: a working relationship built on trust, good communication, and a shared understanding of how to get the best out of horses. Brittain clearly rates him, and the results back that up.
At 4 years in and still riding at high volume, Hardie is at the stage of a career where consistency is everything. He's not yet a household name, but 164 career winners in four years is a genuinely solid foundation, and the Brittain connection gives him a reliable source of winners to build around. The next step is converting that platform into bigger opportunities.
