The partnership with jockey Jonathan Burke stands out as his most productive working relationship. Four wins from 18 rides together — winning roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 — is a meaningful return, and when a trainer and jockey click like that, it usually means they are reading races the same way and picking the right moments to strike. That kind of alignment matters more than most people outside the sport realise.
Ground conditions tell an interesting story too. When the ground is soft and the going gets testing underfoot — the kind of wet, grippy surface that sorts out horses quickly — George's yard performs noticeably well. Three wins from 11 races on that kind of ground works out to 27%, or just over 1 in every 4. That is a sharp uptick from his overall figures and suggests he knows which horses in his string genuinely relish a wet day.
His partnership with Milan Tino — 1 win from 6 races together — has not yet caught fire, but six runs is still a relatively small sample. The more interesting question is whether that relationship develops as both continue to build their profiles.
Forty-nine career winners in four years is a steady, honest platform. George is not yet troubling the top of the trainers' table, but the directional signs — a reliable jockey partnership, a clear advantage in specific conditions — are exactly what a yard builds on.
