Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Monday 13 July 2026
The riders I'm watching today — the loaded books, the marquee bookings, the form jocks pinging the radar.
Five riders worth watching today. A loaded book is a market signal in itself — when a form jock has multiple chances, the yard sees the day as live. I read the diaries with one eye on the silks, one on the trainer form. Here's what's caught my eye.
⚡ Oisin Murphy is running hot — five winners in the last seven days, and the handlers have noticed, handing him a book of eight rides today. A 22% career strike rate across 1,140 rides tells you this is no purple patch merchant; he converts, and with this much ammunition, the ledger is going to move.
