Joe Tizzard

Three years into his training career, Joe Tizzard has already done something that takes most trainers a decade to achieve: he has won 11 top-level races, including three in the space of just three months between November 2025 and February 2026. Two of those came at Cheltenham — the most demanding and prestigious venue in jump racing — and one at Wincanton. For a yard still finding its feet, that is a genuinely remarkable record at the highest level of the sport.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The overall numbers back it up. Tizzard has sent out 221 career winners since starting in 2022, and this season alone his runners have won 58 times from 387 races — that is roughly 1 in every 7, or 15% if you prefer the figure. In racing terms, that is a solid, consistent operation. He is not throwing horses at races and hoping for the best; he is placing them well and winning with them regularly.

The partnership with jockey Brendan Powell is central to how the yard operates. Powell has ridden 273 times for Tizzard and come home in front on 43 of those occasions — 16%, or just over 1 in 6. That kind of long-running, high-volume relationship between trainer and jockey usually means something: trust, communication, and a shared understanding of how each horse needs to be ridden. When you see Powell in Tizzard's colours, it is worth paying attention.

Then there is Western General, the horse who tells you what Tizzard is capable of at his best. Five wins from 20 races together is a 25% win rate — 1 in 4 — which is an exceptional return by any measure, and suggests a trainer who has worked out exactly how to get the best from that particular animal.

One more detail worth noting: on fast, dry ground, Tizzard's runners win 2 from 7 races — nearly 1 in 3, or 29%. That is a small sample, but it hints that when the sun is out and the ground is quick, his horses may be at their most dangerous. Three years in, with 221 winners and 11 top-level victories already on the board, Tizzard is not a trainer to watch for the future — he is one to watch right now.
