Four years into his training career, Eoin Doyle is going through the kind of season that tests whether someone truly belongs in this game. Since setting up in 2021, he has sent out 31 winners in total — a respectable foundation for a trainer still finding his feet. But the last 12 months have been a serious struggle. Just 2 winners from 106 runners means he is winning roughly 1 in every 53 races, a 2% win rate that represents a sharp fall from the 9% he posted last year. That drop is not a small blip — it is the difference between a yard building momentum and one that is searching for answers.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The numbers elsewhere do little to soften the picture. His most regular partnership with jockey Paddy Cody has yet to click at all, producing zero wins from 17 races together. That is a combination that, on paper, should be delivering something by now. On slightly soft ground — the conditions where Doyle appears most comfortable placing his horses — he has managed 1 win from 21 races this season, a 5% win rate that at least edges above his overall average, suggesting there is a preference worth leaning into when the rain comes.
What keeps this story from being simply bleak is context. Training racehorses is a long game, and four years in, plenty of successful trainers have weathered a difficult season before breaking through. Doyle clearly knows how to find winners — 31 over a career is genuine proof of that. The question now is whether he can arrest the slide and get back to the levels that made last year look promising.
