S McParlan is a trainer still finding their feet, having only taken out a licence in 2021. Four years in, the numbers are modest — just 1 winner from 19 runners over the last 12 months, which works out to roughly 1 in every 19 races. That is a low win rate by any measure, but small yards often operate with limited ammunition, and every winner counts more when you have fewer horses to work with.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most familiar name in the operation is jockey Mr N McParlan, almost certainly a family connection, who has been aboard for 12 of those 19 runners and has partnered the yard's sole winner. That gives them a shared win rate of around 1 in 12 together — modest, but the fact that when the yard does win, it tends to be with this combination suggests a tight working relationship and a good understanding of the horses in their care.
One small but genuine bright spot: on normal ground, S McParlan's runners win at a noticeably better rate — 1 from 7, or roughly 1 in 7. That is a meaningful uptick from the overall picture, and suggests the yard's horses may simply be better suited to fair conditions than testing ones. It is the kind of detail that is easy to overlook but worth watching as the yard continues to develop.
