The partnership that makes the most sense to watch is the one with jockey Tiernan Power Roche. Across 273 rides together, they've combined for 18 wins — roughly 1 in every 15, or about 7%. That's meaningfully better than the yard's overall season average, which suggests Power Roche has a genuine feel for how Rothwell's horses want to be ridden. When a jockey outperforms the yard's own numbers by that margin across hundreds of races, it's not luck — it's chemistry. That's the kind of combination worth paying attention to when they line up together.
On the other side of the ledger sits the pairing with Honey Come Quick, where three races together have produced no wins. Three runs isn't a large enough sample to draw firm conclusions, and plenty of yards have horses that take time to find their feet with a particular trainer. It's one to watch rather than one to write off.
With only four years in the job, Rothwell is still a relatively new voice in training. The numbers suggest a yard that's competitive without yet being dominant — punching away steadily, building its book of runners, and developing the kind of jockey partnerships that will matter more and more as the operation matures. The next few seasons will be telling.
