Ms E M Ruttledge(7)

The "(7)" beside her name is worth explaining: it means she's an apprentice or conditional jockey, which is racing's version of a trainee. Riders with that label are allowed to claim a weight allowance — essentially a head start — because they're still learning the job. It's how the sport gives younger riders a foothold.

With just one race under her belt since March 2026, there's not much of a record to analyse yet. What matters now is simply getting more opportunities, learning from experienced trainers and horses, and turning that single ride into ten, then twenty. Every career has a first page, and this is hers.
