Rebecca Curtis

The standout moments of her career so far came in quick succession. She won a top-level race at Chepstow on 27 December 2025, then backed it up with another at Newbury just six weeks later on 7 February 2026. Two Class 1 wins — the highest grade of race in Britain — in the space of a few weeks tells you this is a yard capable of preparing horses for the biggest occasions, not just picking up smaller prizes. For a trainer only four years in, that is a serious statement.

One pattern worth watching is how her yard performs when the weather turns nasty. On very wet, muddy ground, Curtis's runners win 3 from 11 races — that's 27%, or roughly 1 in every 4. Compare that to her overall rate of 1 in 7, and it becomes clear that her horses genuinely thrive in the conditions many stables dread. Whether that comes down to the type of horses she recruits, how she trains them, or simply a sharp eye for entering them on the right days, the numbers are hard to ignore.

Her most productive partnership in the saddle is with jockey Jamie Brace, who has ridden 39 times for the yard and come home a winner on 6 of those occasions — a win rate of 15%, just a shade above her yard's overall average. It is a reliable combination rather than a spectacular one, but consistency matters in a sport where trust between trainer and jockey takes time to build.

Fifty-nine winners and two top-level victories in four years is a genuinely encouraging foundation. Curtis is still in the early chapters of what could be a long career, and if the trajectory of the last twelve months is anything to go by, there is plenty more to come.
