Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Thursday 25 June 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.
⚡ Billy Loughnane is red-hot right now — six winners in seven days is not a purple patch, it is a statement. Get him onside in the 18:15, where Green Titan's speed rating of 153 makes that booking look very sharp indeed.
- 6 winners in the last 7 days
- 18% career strike rate (1487 rides)
- On Green Titan (SR 153) in the 18:15

Connor Beasley
⚡ Connor Beasley is red-hot right now — four winners in the last seven days off a 15% career strike rate tells you the eye is in and the hands are working. Six rides across the card with It's Debatable (SR 148) pencilled in for the 20:00 is the kind of book that keeps a man busy all evening for the right reasons.

Jason Hart
⚡ Jason Hart is on fire right now — six winners in the last seven days and connections have noticed, handing him eight rides across today's card. The one that matters most is Dakota Brave in the 16:57, a horse with a speed rating of 150 that the headline tipsters have quietly walked past.

Oisin Murphy
⚡ Oisin Murphy is rolling in hot — four winners in the last seven days and a career strike rate of 22% over more than a thousand rides tells you this is a jockey who converts when it matters. He gets on Glorious Game in the 12:15, a horse rated 161 on speed figures, and that is the booking the favourites page glossed over.

- 10:45 Weekend Roar 7/2 🏆 WON

R L Moore
⚡ R L Moore is in the kind of purple patch that makes you put the paper down — five winners in seven days, and a 27% career strike rate that tells you this isn't a fluke. He climbs aboard Aalto in the 12:45, a mount rated 91, and with two rides today that's his full focus on a horse good enough to justify it.
- 5 winners in the last 7 days
- 27% career strike rate (403 rides)
- On Aalto (SR 91) in the 12:45
- 11:45 Sierra Sands 5/1 🏆 WON
