The team's record at the top level is what really sets them apart. Across their career they have won 96 Class 1 races — the biggest, most prestigious races in the sport — at venues like Newmarket, Ascot, and Goodwood. These are the occasions that define careers and attract the best horses in the country. Winning 96 of them is not luck; it is a consistent ability to have the right horse ready at the right moment when it matters most.
There are some specific numbers worth pausing on. At Newcastle, the yard has won 9 races from just 15 runners. In racing terms, that is a startling hit rate — more than half their runners there have won. That kind of dominance at a single track usually reflects a trainer who understands the course, manages their horses' travel well, and picks their spots carefully. It is the sort of stat that makes rival trainers take notice.
On normal ground conditions — a dry, standard surface — the yard is even more ruthless: 36 wins from 95 races, which works out to 38%, or winning more than one in every three races run. Ground conditions matter enormously in racing, and this tells you the yard's horses are particularly well suited to racing at their best when conditions are fair.
The most productive jockey partnership is with Robert Havlin, who has ridden to 37 winners from 190 rides for the yard — a win rate of 19%, or roughly one in five. That kind of established trust between trainer and jockey tends to build over time and pays dividends on the big days. Recent winners at Southwell, Lingfield Park, and Kempton Park in the winter months show the yard is not just effective on the summer showpiece circuit — they keep their horses winning all year round.
