Simon Walker has been riding for four years, and in that time he has built a career total of 26 winners — a solid foundation for someone still relatively early in their journey as a jockey. This season he has ridden 5 winners from 31 races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 6 rides, a win rate of 16%. That is a slight dip from last year, when he was winning 1 in every 5 races at 21%, so there is a small but noticeable step back in form worth keeping an eye on.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Where Walker genuinely stands out is on normal ground conditions. On a standard, well-drained track he has won 4 races from just 12 rides — that is 1 in every 3, a remarkable conversion rate that tells you something important: when the ground is in his favour, he is a completely different proposition. To put that in context, winning a third of your races under any circumstances is exceptional. Most top-level jockeys would take that. It suggests he either rides with particular confidence when conditions suit, or that his trainers know exactly when to put him up and choose their spots carefully on those days.
The slight dip in overall numbers this season does not tell the whole story. Four years in, 26 career winners, and a standout record on decent ground — Walker looks like a jockey who is finding his level and beginning to show where his real strengths lie. If the ground plays fair, he is well worth watching.
