Winner of the Men’s Novice Rider award at the National Point-to-Point Championships in 2018/19, Jack Tudor rode his first winner under Rules, Uno Mas, trained by Christian Williams, in an amateur riders’ novices’ handicap hurdle at Fakenham on November 20, 2018. The following August he became conditional jockey to Williams, who is based in Ogmore-by-Sea in the Vale of Glamorgan, and rode his first winner in that capacity, Capitoul, trained by Dr. Richard Newland, in conditional jockeys’ and amateur riders’ selling hurdle at Market Rasen on August 17, 2019.
Indeed, Tudor was still only 17 when, as a 7lb claimer with just a handful of rides over regulation fences, he rode Potters Corner, trained by Williams, to victory in the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow on December 27, 2019. Williams said afterwards, “There was no doubt Jack would ride.” Williams finished the 2019/20 season with 20 winners, but increased his seasonal tally to 27 winners in 2020/21 and, again, to 29 winners in 2021/22, riding out his claim in the process.
In April 2023, Tudor was named stable jockey to David Pipe in Nicholashayne, Somerset, succeeding Tom Scudamore, who retired the previous February after 16 years in the role. At that point, he said of Williams, “Christian has been massive for my career, he’s simply the reason I’ve had the opportunity to move yards.”
In his new role, Tudor enjoyed his most successful season so far in 2024/25, reaching a half-century of winners for the first time on Rule Me In, trained by Williams, in a maiden hurdle at Southwell on February 3, 2025 and eventually amassing 70 winners and over £900,000 in prize money. Williams said of him, ” Jack’s brilliant, he’s a very talented and exceptional rider who’s been riding out for me since he was 14 or 15. Honestly, I wouldn’t swap him for anyone else riding at the moment.”
