Four years into her riding career, Lucy Gardner is going through the toughest stretch of her professional life. This season she has drawn a blank across all 37 races — not a single winner — and that follows a year in which she was already winning only around 1 in every 33 rides. The numbers make for difficult reading.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her most frequent partnership is with trainer Sue Gardner, but that combination has yet to find the winner's enclosure either, with 37 races together and nothing to show for it. Their best hope of breaking the drought may come through Lightonthewing, the one horse in her roster that has actually delivered — the pair have won 1 of their 11 races together, which stands out as the one bright spot in an otherwise barren spell.
The concern is the direction of travel. A 3% win rate last season was modest but at least represented forward momentum; dropping to zero this term suggests something has stalled. Whether that is the quality of horses available to her, a run of bad luck, or something in her own riding to work on, only those inside the yard will know. What is clear is that Gardner needs a change of fortune soon — four years in, the window for establishing yourself in this sport does not stay open indefinitely.
