Four years into a training career is still early days, and E D Delany is building steadily rather than making headlines just yet. Over the last 12 months, the yard has sent out 68 runners and come back with 5 winners — that's roughly 1 win in every 14 races, or 7% of the time. It's a modest return by the numbers, but in a game where plenty of small operations struggle to get on the board at all, keeping a consistent flow of runners going matters.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most reliable combination in the yard right now is with jockey Jordan Gainford, who has partnered Delany's horses 26 times and ridden 3 winners from those rides — a win rate of around 12%, or just over 1 in every 9. That's meaningfully better than the yard's overall average, which suggests Gainford understands how these horses are being prepared and gets the best out of them when it counts.
One relationship that stands out for different reasons is the one with Accustomed — a horse that has run 10 times for the yard without winning once. Ten races together with nothing to show for it is a long road, and at some point that partnership will either click or prompt a rethink. It's the kind of stubborn puzzle that trainers know well.
There's also a hint of a pattern emerging in how the yard performs when conditions turn soft underfoot. On wet or muddy ground, Delany's runners have won 2 from 15 races — a 13% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 8. That's nearly double the yard's overall average, and it's the sort of detail worth remembering next time the rain comes down.
