Conor Stone-Walsh

The most telling detail in his record is what happens when the ground is normal — not waterlogged, not sun-baked, just the standard conditions you'd hope for on a decent racing day. On that kind of surface, Stone-Walsh wins at nearly double his usual rate: 9 wins from 74 races, which works out at 12%, or roughly 1 in every 8. That's not a coincidence. It suggests he's at his most effective when horses are running freely and the race is decided by tactics and timing rather than raw stamina — the kind of racing where a sharp, decisive jockey earns their money.

His most consistent partnership is with trainer Gavin Cromwell, where he's recorded 7 wins from 140 rides together. That's a 5% win rate — about 1 in every 20 — which sounds modest until you consider that 140 rides with one yard is a serious working relationship, built on trust and familiarity. Trainers don't keep putting the same jockey up if they don't believe in them. Cromwell clearly does.

At 76 career winners and still only three years in, Stone-Walsh is at the stage where the numbers are starting to tell a story. The foundation is there — consistent volume, a clear strength on good ground, and a key stable booking that keeps him busy. The next chapter is about turning that into bigger opportunities.
