John & Sean Quinn

What really sets this yard apart, though, is what they have done in the biggest races. In only two years of training, they have won three top-level races in Britain — the kind that matter most and attract the best horses in the country. Those wins have come at three of racing's most iconic venues: York, Epsom Downs, and Goodwood. Winning at any one of those tracks in a top-level race is a career highlight for most trainers. Winning at all three, this quickly, is the sort of thing that makes the wider sport sit up and take notice.

Much of their success in the saddle has been built with jockey Jason Hart, who has become their go-to rider. Together they have combined for 24 wins from 216 races — that's 11%, or roughly 1 in every 9 rides — a partnership that clearly runs on trust and understanding. When a trainer keeps coming back to the same jockey and keeps winning at that rate, it tells you the communication between horse, rider, and trainer is working. That kind of consistency does not happen by accident.

One horse worth watching is Liberty Coach, who has won 4 of the 22 races he has run in for the yard. Four wins from 22 races might sound modest on paper, but in racing terms that represents a genuine and productive partnership — the sort of horse a trainer builds a programme around, knowing exactly when to run and when to wait. With the Quinn yard still only two years old and already operating at the top of the sport, the direction of travel is hard to argue with. However the next few seasons unfold, this is a team that has already earned its place in the conversation.
