Top Jockeys Australia
Leading jockeys, premiership standings and form. Who's riding well this season.
Quick Links
Australia's top jockeys compete week in, week out at metropolitan and provincial tracks across the country. Premiership standings and win rates change throughout the season as riders chase Group 1 wins, metro titles, and national recognition. Following the leading jockeys helps you understand who is in form, who gets the best rides, and who is worth following when they partner a fancied runner.
Major metropolitan centres—Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth—each have their own premierships, and the best jockeys often ride in multiple states during the big carnivals. Spring and autumn see the top riders travel for the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Golden Slipper, and The Everest. Jockey bookings are a key part of form analysis: a top jockey taking a mount can signal stable confidence, and many punters use jockey statistics when shortlisting runners.
Race.com.au does not publish a standalone jockey premiership table, but our Racing Today and Results Today pages show which jockeys are riding at each meeting and who rode the winners. You can follow individual jockeys via our results and form pages. For detailed jockey profiles and statistics, check the official racing authority sites or dedicated form services.

How do I see which jockey is on a horse?
Our form guides and fields show jockey bookings for every runner. Results pages show the winning jockey for each race.
