Ian Power

His closest working relationship is with trainer Jennie Candlish, for whom he has ridden 15 times and delivered 1 winner. That's a win rate of around 7%, or 1 in every 15 rides — modest in headline terms, but in a sport where most rides don't result in a win, a steady partnership with a trainer represents real professional trust, and these things take time to build.

There is one number that stands out in an otherwise quiet recent spell: on wet or softer ground, Power has won 1 from 6 rides — roughly 1 in every 6. That's 17%, noticeably higher than his overall figures, and suggests he may bring something extra when the conditions get testing and the race becomes more of a physical grind. Whether that edge continues to show as his career develops is one of the more interesting questions around him.

His association with Saint Polo is worth noting, though not for the obvious reasons — the pair have raced together six times without a win. Six runs together without a result is a long run of near-misses, and while that scoreline is frustrating on paper, sustained partnerships between a jockey and a particular horse are relatively rare and say something about the confidence placed in Power to keep getting the leg-up.

At four years into his career, Power is still in the phase where consistent opportunities matter more than big results. The sport is littered with riders who quietly built their foundations in spells that looked unremarkable from the outside, and a jockey who is still getting rides, still riding for established trainers, and still showing flashes of promise in specific conditions is far from a finished story.
