The most interesting number in Millar's record is his partnership with trainer Gordon Elliott. From 31 rides for the yard, he has come away with 5 winners — a win rate of around 1 in every 6. That is comfortably double his overall average, and it suggests Elliott has genuine confidence in him. Trainers with big strings don't hand rides to jockeys they aren't sure about, so the fact that Millar keeps getting the call from one of the sport's leading operations is a meaningful endorsement.
He also has a useful weapon when the weather turns. On wet or muddy ground, Millar has won 1 from 5 races — a 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5. That might sound like a small sample, but it points to a jockey who doesn't just cope when conditions get testing, he actually thrives. Some horses and riders are made for those days when the ground is heavy and the race turns into a slog. Millar appears to be one of them.
Still only four years in, the bigger story here is what comes next. Thirty-five winners is a solid foundation, and the Elliott connection in particular gives him a pipeline to horses good enough to win at a decent level. The next step will be converting that association into rides on bigger occasions — and if his record on soft ground is anything to go by, he'll be hoping for a wet winter.
