Her most regular partnership has been with trainer Noel Meade, for whom she has ridden 15 times without a winner so far. That's a significant chunk of her total rides going to one yard, which suggests a degree of trust from an established trainer — even if the results haven't come yet. In this sport, getting consistent opportunities from a respected trainer is itself a sign of progress for a young rider.
Her one winner to date has come on normal ground, where she has actually recorded a win rate of around 1 in every 13 rides — noticeably better than her overall figures suggest. It's a small sample, but it hints that she may be at her most effective when conditions are straightforward rather than testing.
At this stage, Grifferty is very much a rider to watch rather than one to judge. One year and 20 rides is a short chapter, and plenty of successful jockeys took time to build momentum early on. The question over the next season will be whether the winners start to come more regularly and whether that partnership with Meade eventually clicks into gear.
