Michael & David Easterby

The numbers from the last twelve months tell the same story: 51 winners from 650 runners, which works out at roughly 1 in every 13 races. That might not sound spectacular, but 650 runners in a season means the yard is busy — sending horses out consistently and finding winners at a reliable clip. In racing, volume and consistency are their own kind of skill.

The most telling partnership in the yard's recent record is with jockey Joanna Mason. Across 235 races together, they have combined for 21 wins — around 1 in every 11 — and that level of repetition builds something valuable: trust, rhythm, and a shared understanding of how to get the best from a horse on race day. When a trainer keeps putting the same jockey up, it usually means the relationship is working in ways that don't always show up in the numbers.

One number that does jump out belongs to wet and muddy ground conditions. In just 8 races on heavy going, the yard has won 3 times — a win rate of 38%, or almost 2 in every 5. That is a remarkable return. Most yards struggle when the ground turns soft and the races become a slog, but the Easterby horses appear to relish it. Whether that comes down to breeding, training methods, or simply knowing which horses to run when the weather turns, the result is the same: when it rains, it pays to take notice of this yard.

The one curiosity in the record is Liverpool Star, a horse that has raced nine times under the yard's care without winning. Nine attempts is a long road without a return, and it stands out against an otherwise productive career profile. Every yard has horses that frustrate — the ones that promise more than they deliver — and Liverpool Star appears to be that horse here.
