P J Smullen is still finding his feet as a jockey after taking up the saddle just over a year ago in March 2025. With nine rides under his belt in the last twelve months, he has one winner to show for his efforts — a return of roughly 1 win in every 9 races, which puts him in that early phase where the real learning happens. These are the rides where a jockey begins to understand how different horses move, how to read a race, and when to make his move.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's jockey breakdown
What stands out, though, is his record on normal ground conditions. On three rides over standard turf, Smullen has landed one winner — a win rate of 1 in 3 races. That is a genuinely strong return, especially for someone so early in their career, and it suggests he may have an instinct for this particular type of going. For a young rider, finding ground conditions that suit your style is valuable; it gives you something to build on. Whether this proves to be a real strength or a small-sample quirk will become clear as he rides more races, but it is worth noting.
