Does the size of the claim matter?

Questions people ask

What is an apprentice jockey?

An apprentice is a professional Flat jockey early in their career who claims a weight allowance until reaching a set number of winners. The allowance reduces the weight the horse carries, and it shrinks as the rider wins more races.

Who is the leading apprentice jockey in Britain?

Ashley Lewis leads the British apprentices in 2026 with 46 wins from claiming rides. The British table ranks every rider with at least ten claiming rides this season.

Who is the leading apprentice jockey in Ireland?

Reese Holohan leads the Irish apprentices in 2026 with 30 wins from claiming rides. Irish and British tables are kept separate because the allowance rules differ.

What does the current claim column show?

The current claim is the latest allowance the rider claimed in their last ten rides. A rider who has ridden out their claim shows as having no claim in those rides.

How often are the tables updated?

The tables refresh after every racing day from British and Irish results. Rides today counts each listed rider's mounts on today's cards.
