The most striking number in Collins's record is what happens when conditions are right. On normal ground, she wins with 4 of every 18 runners — that's 22%, or nearly 1 in every 4 to 5 races. In a sport where most trainers are happy to win 1 in 8 or 1 in 10, that figure on a particular type of ground suggests she knows exactly how to have her horses ready when conditions suit. It is the mark of a trainer who pays attention.
Dundalk tells a similar story. The indoor all-weather track in County Louth has become a happy hunting ground for Collins, with 4 winners from 18 runners there. Getting 1 in every 4 or 5 runners home in front at any single track is the kind of consistency that takes time and understanding to build — and Collins has clearly cracked the code at that venue in a relatively short career.
Her partnership with Buddy Batt is the standout story of her time in training so far. Together they have won 3 races from just 8 attempts — that is winning more than 1 in every 3 times out, which is a remarkable record by any measure. In racing, when a trainer and a single horse click like that, it usually means the trainer has figured out exactly where, when, and how to run that particular animal. Three wins from eight races is not luck; it is management.
Collins also works regularly with jockey Ronan Whelan, who has partnered her horses in 12 races and ridden 2 winners — a win rate of 17%, or roughly 1 in every 6 rides. For a yard that is still only four years old, having a reliable jockey partnership in place is another sign that Collins is building something with structure and intention behind it.
