The numbers this season are modest: 1 winner from 25 runners, or roughly 1 in every 25 races. That is a tough return, and it is honest to say Quinn is operating at the lower end of the training ranks right now. But the one area where the figures sharpen up is on normal ground conditions, where the yard has won 1 from 9 races — around 1 in every 9. That is 11%, which is a meaningful difference and suggests Quinn may have a better feel for placing horses when conditions are straightforward rather than testing.
The partnership with Mr Mills has yet to pay off, with three races together producing no wins so far. That is a relationship worth watching — when a trainer keeps returning to the same horse, there is usually belief that a win is coming — but patience is still being tested.
Quinn is very much a trainer in the early chapters of their story. Four years in, one winner this season, and a win rate that is at least pointing in the right direction. The foundation is being laid slowly, and the ground condition numbers hint that there is some method developing behind the scenes.
