Simon Waugh is a trainer still in the early stages of building his career, having set up his yard in 2021. Four years in, the numbers are modest — just 1 winner from 16 runners over the past 12 months, which works out to roughly 1 in every 16 races. That is a tough ratio, but small yards often operate on thin margins, and a single horse finding form can change the picture quickly.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
Where Waugh does show a more encouraging return is on normal ground conditions, where he has won 1 from 7 races — around 1 in every 7. That is more than double his overall rate, and it suggests his horses may be at their best when the track is neither too wet nor too dry. It is a small sample, so it would be unwise to read too much into it, but it is the kind of pattern worth watching as his string develops.
At this stage of a training career, patience is everything. Waugh is still finding his feet, and the measure of a yard this young is less about win rates and more about whether it is moving in the right direction.
