Jane Chapple-Hyam

The headline achievement, though, is her record in the biggest races. Seven wins at Class 1 level — the top tier of British racing — is a remarkable return for a yard still finding its feet. Those wins have come at the sport's most prestigious venues: Ascot, Newmarket, and York. The most recent came at York in May 2025, one of the most atmospheric racecourses in the country, and it confirms that Chapple-Hyam does not just collect wins at smaller meetings — she turns up and delivers when the occasion demands it.

Look a little closer at the numbers and a few patterns emerge that tell you something about how the yard operates. On normal ground conditions, her horses win at a rate of 16% — 11 wins from 69 races, or just over 1 in every 6 — which is meaningfully better than her overall average. That suggests her string is particularly well-suited to fair, standard conditions rather than the extremes of very wet or very dry ground. Kempton Park is another sweet spot: 5 winners from just 19 runners there is an exceptional return, roughly 1 in every 4, and it points to a trainer who either understands the track well or simply sends horses there when they are ready to win.

Her most productive jockey partnership is with David Egan, who has won on 5 of his 36 rides for the yard — a win rate of 14%, or roughly 1 in every 7. That consistency across more than three dozen rides is a good sign; it suggests a genuine working relationship rather than a one-off click. Her standout horse Claymore has won 3 of their 30 races together, a pairing that has clearly been central to some of the yard's bigger moments.

In a sport dominated by training dynasties with decades of history behind them, four years in and already winning at Ascot and York is a statement. Chapple-Hyam looks very much like a trainer on the rise.
