Edward Greatrex

Twelve months into his career as a professional jockey, Edward Greatrex has already made a compelling case that he belongs at this level. Since April 2024 he has ridden 105 career winners in total, with 60 of those coming in the last twelve months alone — that's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 rides across 433 races, which is a serious number for someone still finding their feet at the professional level.

The highlight so far is a win in one of the top races in Britain — a Class 1 at Chester on 30 August 2025. Chester is one of the most technically demanding tracks in the country, a tight, almost circular course where race positioning and timing matter enormously. Landing a top-level prize there in your first year is the kind of result that gets people in the sport paying attention.

His most productive working relationship is with trainer Ian Williams, a yard that has clearly seen enough to keep coming back: Greatrex has ridden 70 times for Williams and won on 10 of those, a 14% win rate that mirrors his overall average — which tells you the partnership is consistent rather than just lucky. He has also built an interesting connection with a horse called Moyowasi, winning 1 from 3 races together; not a dominant record in raw numbers, but enough to suggest the two know how to work together.

A few statistical details are worth highlighting. At Chepstow he has won 5 races from 18 rides — roughly 1 in every 3.6 — which is noticeably better than his overall average and suggests the track suits his style. He also does well when conditions are a little soft underfoot, winning 2 from 8 races on wet or slightly soft ground, a 25% win rate that is nearly double his usual figure. Some jockeys struggle to adapt their riding when the ground changes; Greatrex clearly adjusts.

One hundred and five winners in roughly a year is a genuine achievement, and the Chester result proves he can perform on the biggest stage when the opportunity arrives. The next step is turning one top-level winner into several — but as debut years in professional sport go, this has been a very strong one.
