The partnership with jockey Simon Torrens looks like one of the yard's most important assets. Together they have combined for 7 wins from 60 races — winning at a rate of roughly 1 in 9 — which makes Torrens by far the most productive rider in Foley's operation. When those two names appear on the same racecard, it's worth paying attention.
Foley also has a notable record at Naas, where he has sent out 3 winners from just 12 runners. That might sound modest in raw numbers, but landing 1 in every 4 at any track is genuinely impressive — most trainers would be delighted with that kind of return, and it hints at a trainer who knows how to place a horse well when he travels to that particular venue.
Ground conditions matter too, and Foley's record in wet or muddy conditions stands out: 3 wins from 20 races on soft ground, which is a win rate of 15%, or roughly 1 in every 7. That suggests he either has horses in his yard that are well suited to testing conditions, or that he is canny enough to pick his spots and target those days when the ground is in his favour.
His standout individual partnership is with Rebel Gold, a horse they have raced together 31 times with 3 wins to show for it. That's a modest return on paper, but 31 races is a long shared journey, and the loyalty and consistency that comes with running a horse that many times tells you something about how the yard operates. Foley is clearly still building, but the foundations look solid, and the direction of travel is firmly upward.
