Two years into his riding career, Edward Vaughan is still finding his feet — but the early signs were genuinely promising. In his first season, he won 1 in every 5 races, a rate that would turn heads for any young jockey still learning the craft. This season, that figure has dipped to 1 in every 11, with just 2 winners from 22 rides. That kind of drop is worth watching rather than worrying about — conditional jockeys, which is what the "(7)" next to his name means (he's claiming a 7lb weight allowance, a beginner's concession designed to level the playing field), often go through patches like this as they take on tougher rides and bigger fields.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's jockey breakdown
The most natural place to find him is alongside trainer Tim Vaughan — almost certainly a family connection, given the shared surname — where he has partnered horses 12 times and ridden 1 winner. That's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 in that yard, which mirrors his overall season average. It suggests he's leaning on that relationship for a steady stream of rides, which is exactly what a young jockey needs at this stage: race time, experience, and the chance to build an eye for pace and positioning that no amount of schooling at home can teach.
At 22 rides in, it's simply too early to draw firm conclusions. The question for the season ahead is whether he can rediscover that sharper early form and turn his 1-in-11 rate back into something closer to the 1-in-5 that caught attention when he first started out.
