Here in the U.S. many successful very riders use a buzzer, an electronic shocking device which urges a horse to run faster when called on to do so. It is easy to conceal the device. Others use a syringe laced with illegal substance. More likely the trainer adminsters that. These are illegal tactics of course.
In Beadman's case, I think he's just that good of a jockey. Perhaps he judges his run better, or is more in tune with how the horse wants to run his best race. Beadman loses races too, but he really does have a fantastic strike rate. There are many other riders who are also very good, and they seem to improve the run of a horse also.
Just my opinion.
