How does RaceWatch decide if a trainer is Irish or British?

A trainer counts as Irish-based in a year when most of their British and Irish runs that year were in Ireland, and British-based when most were in Britain. Trainers with few runs that fall mostly in Britain are marked as overseas or unplaced and left out.

Which Irish trainer has the most winners in Britain?

Over jumps, Gordon Elliott has the most British winners of any Irish yard since 2021/22, with 117. On the Flat, Aidan O'Brien leads with 135 British winners since 2021.
