The "(7)" next to D Allen's name is not a jersey number — it means he's an apprentice jockey, currently claiming a 7lb weight allowance. In plain terms, the horses he rides carry less weight than they would with a fully qualified jockey on board, which is one of the ways the sport gives young riders a foot in the door. Allen has been riding for four years now, since 2021, and the allowance reflects where he still sits on the learning curve.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That curve is clearly heading in the right direction. Last season he was winning around 1 in every 9 races — not bad for a young rider still finding his feet. This season that's jumped to 3 wins from 20 rides, roughly 1 in every 7, a 15% win rate that shows genuine improvement rather than a lucky run. Three winners might not sound like a headline figure, but the direction of travel matters as much as the destination at this stage of a career.
The most interesting number in Allen's record is what happens when the ground turns wet. On soft or muddy ground, he's won 2 from 7 races — that's a win rate of 29%, or nearly 1 in every 3. For context, his overall rate is less than half that. Whether it's that he rides with more patience in testing conditions, or that he simply gets booked for horses better suited to the mud, that gap is hard to ignore. On a rainy raceday, D Allen is a name worth paying attention to.
