Four years into his riding career, Darren Andrews has quietly built a reputation as someone worth watching — particularly when the rain comes down. Since taking out his licence in 2022, he has won 4 of his last 20 races, a rate of roughly 1 in every 5, which is a solid return for a rider still finding his feet at this level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's jockey breakdown
What really stands out is what happens when conditions turn wet and muddy. In those circumstances, Andrews transforms into a different proposition entirely — 2 wins from just 4 races on soft or heavy ground is a 50% win rate, meaning he has won half of everything he has ridden in the mud. That is a remarkable number. Some jockeys spend entire careers trying to crack wet-ground riding; Andrews appears to have a natural feel for it already.
The (7) beside his name means he currently claims a 7lb weight allowance — a concession given to less experienced riders to help them compete against established professionals. As he racks up more winners, that allowance will reduce. The clock is ticking, in the best possible way.
