Harry Sexton(7)

The "(7)" after his name is a weight allowance — a small advantage given to less experienced jockeys to help level the playing field against seasoned professionals. Sexton has been riding since 2021, so he is still in that building phase where every winner counts and every ride adds something.

His most regular outlet has been with trainer Adrian Sexton — almost certainly a family connection — producing 1 win from 37 rides together. A 3% win rate, roughly 1 in every 37 races, is modest, but consistent access to rides from a yard is genuinely valuable at this stage. It keeps a young jockey in the saddle, and time in the saddle is everything early on.

The most interesting number here is on slightly soft ground, where he has won 2 from 29 races — a 7% win rate, roughly 1 in every 14. That is nearly double his overall average, and it suggests he either rides more confidently in those conditions or gets put up on horses that genuinely suit them. Either way, it is the kind of small edge that a developing jockey can build on.

His best individual partnership is with Likealightswitch, though 1 win from 6 races together is a limited sample. Still, the fact that a horse keeps coming back to the same jockey suggests a working relationship that suits both parties. For now, Harry Sexton is exactly where most young jockeys are at the four-year mark — grinding for opportunities, banking experience, and waiting for the partnerships and momentum that can change things quickly.
