The headline achievement, though, is what he has managed at the very top of the sport. Owen has won 10 Class 1 races in his career — the highest tier of racing in Britain — at venues including Cheltenham, Newmarket and Nottingham. That is a remarkable tally for a trainer still finding his feet. Most yards spend years knocking on the door of the big occasions; Owen has already walked through it ten times. Three of those wins have come in just the last fourteen months: Cheltenham in January 2025, Nottingham in April 2025, and Cheltenham again on New Year's Day 2026. The fact that two of those came at Cheltenham — one of the most demanding and prestigious venues in the country — suggests his horses are not just winning races, they are rising to the biggest stages.
At the other end of the scale, Beverley offers a useful window into how Owen operates day to day. He has sent out 5 winners from just 10 runners there — meaning half of every horse he runs at that track wins. That is an extraordinary conversion rate, and it speaks to the kind of careful placement that separates a thoughtful trainer from one simply throwing horses at a wall.
His most regular jockey partner is Pat Cosgrave, who has ridden for Owen 117 times and come home in front on 13 of those occasions — roughly 1 in 9 rides. The standout partnership on paper, however, is with Warning Symbol: one win from five races together, a modest record in numbers, but clearly a combination Owen keeps returning to for a reason.
For a trainer only three years into the job, the combination of volume, big-race success and course intelligence is genuinely impressive. The 388 career winners already on the board suggest Owen is not building slowly — he arrived, and he got to work.
