Nathan Crosse

Four years into his career, Nathan Crosse has built up 79 winners — a solid foundation for a jockey still finding his feet at the highest level. This season, though, has been a tough one. Eight winners from 327 rides works out to roughly 1 in every 41 races, a 2% win rate that represents a dip from the 4% he managed last year. In a sport where momentum matters, that kind of drop is worth watching.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His most regular partnership is with trainer W McCreery, and it tells a similar story: 3 wins from 104 rides together, winning about 1 in every 35 races. That's a working relationship built on volume rather than fireworks — McCreery clearly trusts Crosse enough to keep putting him up, but the winners haven't been flowing.

Where Crosse does show a brighter side is on normal ground conditions. In standard going, he's won 3 from 66 races this season — roughly 1 in every 22 — which is noticeably sharper than his overall numbers suggest. It hints that when conditions suit and the cards fall right, he's capable of punching above his season average.

At 2% this season, Crosse is operating in difficult territory — for context, a jockey winning 1 in every 10 races would be considered very productive at this level. But four years in, with 79 career winners already on the board, he has shown he knows how to get horses across the line. The question for the season ahead is whether this is a temporary dip or a sign that he needs to reassess where and how he picks up rides. Jockeys at this stage of their careers often hit exactly this kind of crossroads, and how they respond tends to define what comes next.
