Tracey Leeson

The most-used jockey at the yard is Mr Joseph Stevenson, who has ridden 20 times for Leeson without the pair getting their noses in front. Twenty rides together and no wins is a tough run by any measure, though in a small operation still building its identity, those kinds of partnerships often exist out of loyalty and availability as much as results. The most notable horse in the yard, The Kings Soldier, has also drawn a blank across three races — so even the headline act hasn't yet delivered a breakthrough moment.

Where Leeson does show a hint of something to work with is on normal ground conditions, where her runners have won 1 from 22 races — a 5% win rate, which while modest, is notably better than her overall average. In a small yard where every runner counts, finding even a slight edge in certain conditions is worth noting. The picture is still very much one of a trainer in the early stages of building something, and four years in, patience remains the order of the day.
