Lorcan Williams

What really sets Williams apart is his record at the highest level. Nine wins in Class 1 races — the most prestigious events British racing has to offer — is the kind of number most jockeys never reach, let alone in four years. Those victories span Cheltenham, Sandown Park, and Ascot: three of the most famous and demanding venues in the sport, stages where the best horses and riders in the country turn up and the margins are razor-thin. Most recently, he added Newcastle on 29 November 2025 to that list, a reminder that his big-day record is no fluke.

His most consistent working relationship is with trainer Jeremy Scott, where the numbers tell their own story: 11 wins from 98 rides together, winning at roughly 1 in every 9 attempts. That is a partnership built on trust and repetition, the kind that develops when a trainer keeps putting a jockey up because they know what they are going to get. Eleven wins from 98 shared rides suggests Scott's yard have made Williams something close to a first call.

At 109 career winners and still climbing, Williams is quietly becoming one of the more reliable names in British jump racing — a jockey who wins his fair share week to week, but who also, crucially, turns up when the occasion demands it.
