David Egan

Four years into his career, David Egan has already done something most jockeys spend a lifetime chasing: he has ridden 23 top-level races to victory. That is not a number you accumulate by accident. Winners at Newbury, Doncaster, and Newmarket — the most prestigious venues in British racing — tell you this is someone who performs when the occasion demands it. His two Class 1 wins in 2025 alone, at York in May and Doncaster in September, confirm he is not just building toward the big moments. He is already living in them.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The numbers from the past twelve months paint a picture of a jockey who is busy, consistent, and hard to ignore. Eighty-five winners from 692 rides works out at roughly 1 in every 8 races — a 12% win rate across a huge volume of work. In four years of riding professionally, he has reached 371 career winners, a total that suggests he hit the ground running and never really slowed down.

His partnership with trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy is one of the more productive combinations in the sport right now. Together they have produced 15 wins from 71 rides — that is just over 1 in every 5, a 21% win rate that comfortably outperforms his overall average. When those two are working together, something is clearly clicking. It is the kind of relationship that tends to produce big days as well as quiet winners, and it is worth watching closely.

Egan also shows a particular feel for conditions that many jockeys find difficult. On wet, muddy ground — the sort of heavy going that turns a race into a grind — he has won 3 from 14, again roughly 1 in 5. That suggests he does not just ride to the conditions, he finds a way to thrive in them. Brighton is another place where he consistently punches above his weight: 8 winners from 21 runners at that famously tricky, undulating course is a return any jockey would be proud of.

Still only four years into a career that has already touched the highest level of the sport, Egan is the kind of rider whose profile is still being written. The foundations, though, are already impressive.
