Sean Levey

The headline achievements are hard to ignore. Levey has won 24 top-level races across his career, at some of the most prestigious venues in British racing — Newmarket, Ascot, Newbury. These aren't everyday wins; they're the races that matter most, against the best horses and the best riders in the country. He added two more to that tally this summer alone, winning at York in August and at Doncaster in September 2025. York and Doncaster in the space of three weeks at the height of the season is a serious statement.

His 287 career winners in four years puts him firmly in the productive tier of British jockeys — not a household name yet, but very much someone the racing world takes seriously. And the relationship with trainer Richard Hannon is worth paying attention to: 46 wins from 332 rides together, a win rate of 14%, or roughly 1 in every 7. That's meaningfully better than his overall average, which suggests the two have developed a genuine understanding. A jockey who wins more often with a particular yard tends to be trusted with the better horses from that yard — which in turn brings bigger opportunities.

At 287 career winners and counting, with a purple patch of form right now and a growing collection of top-level wins, Levey looks like a jockey building toward something. The summer of 2025 may well be the moment he starts appearing on the radar of people who had never heard of him before.
