Owen Burrows

The quality is just as striking as the quantity. Burrows has won 27 top-level races across his short career so far, the kind of big occasions that define a trainer's reputation. Three of those came in a remarkable spell in the second half of 2025 alone — victories at Haydock Park in August, Newbury in September, and Newmarket in October. Those are three of the most prestigious tracks in Britain, and landing top-level winners at all three in the same season is not something many established yards manage, let alone someone still in their fourth year.

One number that really stands out is his record on wet or muddy ground: 5 wins from just 10 races, meaning he wins half of everything he runs when the ground is soft. That is not luck — that suggests he either knows exactly which horses thrive in those conditions or prepares them specifically for it. Either way, when the rain comes, Burrows is worth watching very closely.

His most reliable combination on the track is with jockey Callum Rodriguez, and the numbers there are almost startling. From 32 rides together they have won 11 times — that is 1 in every 3, or 34%. In a sport where even the very best jockey-trainer partnerships rarely win much more than 1 in 5, finding a pairing that clicks at that rate is genuinely valuable. Rodriguez clearly understands what Burrows wants, and Burrows clearly trusts him with the horses that matter.

Thirty-two winners in a season, 27 top-level victories in a career barely old enough to vote — Owen Burrows is building something that the rest of British racing is starting to take very seriously indeed.
