The most interesting thread running through his record is his partnership with God Knows. Two wins from 15 races together might not sound like headline figures, but when a trainer and a single horse account for the majority of a yard's success, it tells you something about the relationship that has developed there. God Knows is clearly the stable star, the horse Brabazon knows best and gets the most out of.
One bright spot in the statistics is how the yard performs on normal ground conditions — 1 win from just 5 runners in those conditions gives a 20% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5 races. That is a meaningful number, and it suggests Brabazon is at his sharpest when the track is neither muddy nor rock hard. For anyone watching his runners, normal conditions is clearly when to pay closest attention.
Four years in, Brabazon is still very much at the beginning of his story. The yard is small, the winners are hard-earned, and the operation does not yet have the firepower to compete at the top level on a regular basis. But every successful trainer started somewhere, and the groundwork is being laid one runner at a time.
