The horse that has defined Perratt's yard most clearly is Henery Hawk, who has won 6 of their 47 races together. That works out at roughly 1 win in every 8, which is notably better than the yard's overall average — a sign that Perratt knows exactly how to place and prepare this particular horse, and that the two are a genuine partnership rather than just a trainer and a runner.
On the jockey front, Kaiya Fraser has become Perratt's go-to rider, partnering yard horses 77 times and riding 6 winners — again, roughly 1 in 13, matching the stable's overall rate. That kind of consistent, long-running relationship matters in racing. A jockey who knows a trainer's horses well can make decisions in a split second that a stranger in the saddle simply couldn't.
Two details stand out when you dig into where Perratt does her best work. At Southwell, her horses have won 3 from just 9 runners — that's 1 in 3, which is a remarkable return at any track and suggests she has a real feel for what suits that course. And when the ground is wet and heavy underfoot, her record improves to 1 win from 7 runners. Small sample sizes, yes, but the pattern is consistent: Perratt's horses seem to like a bit of a test.
Four years in, 81 winners, and a win rate that is climbing — Linda Perratt is building something worth watching.
