This season he has sent out 24 winners from 275 runners, winning roughly 1 in every 11 races — which sounds modest until you remember that most horses in training lose most of the time, and consistency at that level across a full season is genuinely hard to sustain. That said, his win rate has dipped slightly from 11% last year to 9% this time around, so there is a small but real question about whether the yard is quite hitting the same heights. What makes that worth watching is the recent form: in the last two weeks alone, Tuer has sent out 1 winner from just 5 runners — a 20% hit rate that is more than double his season average. Yards that are finding their stride often show exactly this kind of uptick before the results really start flowing.
One area where Tuer clearly has an edge is wet and muddy ground. He wins with 3 from 21 runners in those conditions — 14% compared to his overall 9% — which suggests he either knows which horses handle the soft stuff or deliberately picks his moments when the ground turns. Either way, it is a useful weapon heading into the wetter months.
His most important working relationship is with jockey Oliver Stammers. The two have combined for 16 wins from 175 rides together, winning at 9% — exactly matching Tuer's overall average, which means Stammers is not just picking up the easy rides. That volume of 175 rides together in four years speaks to a genuine partnership built on trust rather than convenience.
Then there is Shielas Well, the horse Tuer has raced more than any other, with 3 wins from 22 races together. Three from 22 is not a headline number, but the fact that Tuer has kept coming back to the same horse over and over suggests a trainer who knows what he has and is patient enough to find the right opportunities. In a sport where patience and placement matter as much as talent, that is not nothing.
