What makes it more striking is that it wasn't always this way. Last year Cody was winning at around 7% — about 1 in every 14 rides — which is a respectable return for a jockey still building their career. The drop to 1% this season is sharp, and while every jockey goes through lean patches, a fall of that magnitude over a full season is something he'll be eager to turn around.
His busiest partnership is with trainer Eoin Doyle, for whom he has ridden 17 times without a winner. That's a significant chunk of his season handed over to one yard, and nothing to show for it yet. Those 17 rides represent a real vote of confidence from the trainer — you don't keep booking the same jockey through a blank run unless you believe in them — but both horse and rider will be desperate to get that partnership off the mark.
The one bright spot in the data is how he performs on normal ground, where he has won 1 from 19 races — a win rate of around 5%, or one in every nineteen. That's meaningfully better than his overall numbers suggest, and it hints that when conditions suit, Cody is capable of delivering. It's a small sample, but it's the kind of detail that gives a jockey and their team something to build on while they wait for the tide to turn.
