Mrs Lorna Fowler

Four years into her training career, Lorna Fowler is still in the early stages of building her yard, and the numbers reflect that honestly. In the last twelve months she has sent out 47 runners and found the winner's enclosure three times — that's roughly 1 win in every 16 races, or a 6% win rate. For context, that's a modest return, but small yards operating at this level are often playing a long game, placing horses carefully and learning which conditions suit them best.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most telling stat in Fowler's current record is her partnership with jockey John Shinnick. Of her three winners this season, all three have come with Shinnick in the saddle, from 14 rides together — a win rate of 21%, or just over 1 in every 5. That's a striking contrast to the yard's overall figures, and it suggests the two have developed a genuine understanding of how her horses need to be ridden. When Fowler puts Shinnick up, something clicks.

The collaboration with King Jon Oliver tells a different story. Three races together and no wins as yet, which isn't unusual for an emerging partnership still finding its feet. Not every combination fires straight away, and three runs is too small a sample to write anything off.

On wet or muddy ground, Fowler has won 1 from 8 races — a 12% win rate, which is actually double her overall seasonal average. It's a small sample, but it's worth watching. If she starts placing horses deliberately on softer ground, that could be a sign she's identified something useful about what her string handles well.
