This season tells the clearest story: 12 winners from 94 runners, which works out at roughly 1 in every 8 — a 13% win rate that sits comfortably in the respectable middle of the training ranks. For a yard only four years old, that kind of consistency matters more than the raw numbers suggest. Getting horses fit, placed in the right races, and ready to perform on the day is a craft, and the Pogsons are evidently learning it well.
Their most reliable alliance has been with jockey Charlie Todd, who has partnered their horses to 4 wins from 37 rides together. That's roughly 1 in every 9 — not a thunderous record on paper, but the sheer volume of rides tells you this is a genuine working relationship, not an occasional arrangement. When a jockey keeps coming back to a yard and a yard keeps booking the same jockey, there is usually a level of trust and communication behind it that shows up in performance over time.
The one partnership worth raising an eyebrow at is with Flash In The Park — just 1 win from 14 races together. Fourteen attempts is a long road to a single victory, and it is the kind of stat that raises questions about whether horse and yard have ever quite clicked. Sometimes a horse simply needs a change of scenery; sometimes patience is eventually rewarded. Either way, it stands as an outlier in an otherwise tidy operation.
Four years in, 35 winners banked, and a clear first-choice jockey in place — the foundations are there. The next chapter for Charles and Adam Pogson will likely be defined by whether they can start placing horses in slightly better races and converting at the same rate. If they can, the numbers will start looking very different very quickly.
