Samuel Scott is one of the newer faces in British racing, having taken his first rides only in January 2025. In just under a year in the saddle, he has ridden 11 races and picked up 1 winner — that's roughly 1 in every 11 rides, which is a modest but not unusual return for a jockey still finding his feet at this level. The "(7)" after his name is a weight allowance, a small advantage given to apprentice jockeys to encourage trainers to take a chance on inexperienced riders. It is, in a sense, racing's way of giving newcomers a foot in the door.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What is worth watching is how he performs on normal ground. In his 4 races on standard conditions, he has won 1 — a 25% win rate, or 1 in every 4 rides. That is a genuinely strong number, and it suggests he may be at his best when the track is riding fair rather than testing. One season is nowhere near enough to draw firm conclusions, but that is the kind of detail that sticks in the mind of a trainer looking for the right rider on the right day.
At this stage, Scott is very much a work in progress, and that is entirely expected. The first year of any jockey's career is less about results and more about learning — how to settle a horse, how to read a race, how to build relationships with trainers who might keep putting you up. The wins will matter far less right now than whether the right people are starting to notice him.
