Stephen Allen is one of the newer faces in British training, having only taken out his licence in June 2024. In just over a year at the job, he has sent out 25 runners and come back with 2 winners — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12, which is modest but entirely typical for a yard still finding its feet. Building a training operation from scratch takes time, and the early months are as much about learning the game from the other side of the fence as they are about winners on the board.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
What stands out already is the relationship Allen has built with jockey Jamie Brace. Of those 13 rides together, 2 have ended in victory — a win rate of around 1 in every 6, which is noticeably better than Allen's overall numbers. That kind of early chemistry between a trainer and a jockey matters more than it might seem. When a horse and rider combination clicks, it usually means the jockey understands what the yard is producing and how to ride them. It is a partnership worth watching as the operation grows.
Allen is still very much in the stage where every winner is a building block rather than a statistic, and with only a year in the job, there is far more runway ahead than behind. Small yards like this one often take two or three seasons before their true level becomes clear.
