Joao Moreira has spent the last four years building himself from a tentative newcomer into a rider who wins roughly one race in every four. His career record stands at 66 winners in total, but what matters far more than that number is the trajectory he is on. A year ago, he was winning only about 1 in 8 races. Now, in the last twelve months, he has doubled that rate to win 5 of his 22 rides—nearly one in every four. That jump from 12 per cent to 23 per cent is not luck. It suggests he has learned to read a race, learned which trainers trust him with their better horses, and learned how to convert opportunities when they come.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's jockey breakdown
For a jockey still in his first few years as a professional, that kind of improvement curve is what separates someone with real promise from someone who will be riding midfield races at minor tracks for the rest of his career. Moreira is trending in the right direction, and trainers are clearly noticing. The better horses, the ones that actually have a chance to win, are coming his way more often. If he can sustain this form, he has every chance of becoming a regular fixture in winning enclosures across the season.
