Sly Man's Jockeys Taking Aim — Monday 21 September 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 right now — five winners in the last seven days, and he's not slowing down with seven rides booked across today's card. A 22% career strike rate over 2,701 rides tells you this is no flash in the pan; he's the man to follow today, full stop.
- 5 winners in the last 7 days
- 22% career strike rate (2701 rides)

He gets on Mrs Blue in the 14:15, a mount with a speed rating of 156, and a career strike rate of 18% over nearly 1,900 rides tells you this booking is no accident.

Billy Loughnane
⚡ Billy Loughnane is running hotter than anyone on the card right now — 10 winners in seven days from a man who already converts at 18% across more than 3,000 rides is not noise, that is a jockey peaking at exactly the right moment.
