The headline moments are there too. Egan has won 23 top-level races — the kind that matter most in British racing — at some of the sport's most prestigious venues: Newbury, Newmarket, and Doncaster, where he added to that tally as recently as 11 September 2025. Winning once at that level takes talent. Winning 23 times, across multiple tracks and occasions, tells you something more enduring about the rider.
Look closer at the numbers and a few interesting patterns emerge. He has won 6 times from just 19 races at Brighton, which is a remarkable return — roughly 1 in every 3 rides at that track ends in victory. Brighton is a quirky, undulating course that suits certain styles of riding, and Egan has clearly figured it out. Equally telling is his record on very wet, muddy ground: 3 wins from 14 races, a 21% return, means he wins more than 1 in every 5 races when conditions are at their toughest. Some jockeys fade when the ground turns heavy; Egan seems to relish it.
His most productive working relationship is with trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy. Across 100 races together they have combined for 18 wins — exactly 18 in every 100, or almost 1 in every 5. That is a noticeably better return than his overall average, which suggests genuine trust and communication between the two. When a jockey repeatedly outperforms his own averages for one particular yard, it usually means the horses are being aimed at the right races and the rider understands what each one needs.
At 386 career winners in four years, with 23 wins at the highest level and clear strengths at specific tracks and in specific conditions, Egan is not a jockey still finding his feet. He is a jockey who knows exactly what he is doing.
