Aberama Gold

Aberama Gold is a horse that runs hot and cold, but when conditions are right, there is very little to touch him. The nine-year-old has won 10 races from 91 starts, a win rate of roughly 1 in 9, but those bare numbers hide a fascinating pattern. His trainer David O'Meara, based in North Yorkshire, describes him as a sprinter who "runs himself in and out of form," and the last couple of years have proved the point. In 2023, Aberama Gold was in brilliant form, winning three Class 2 races in the space of three months — at York on 29 July, Goodwood on 5 August, and Doncaster on 28 October. Since then, however, he has not found the winner's enclosure, failing to win in his last six races despite being actively raced.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What sets Aberama Gold apart is his extraordinary affinity for very wet and muddy ground. On those treacherous surfaces, he has won 3 races from just 4 attempts — a 75 percent success rate that is genuinely exceptional. O'Meara noted that Aberama Gold "likes dig in the ground" and won the Stewards' Cup two years ago "on almost unraceable ground." On fast, dry going, by contrast, he wins only about 1 in every 4 races. His jockey Daniel Tudhope has ridden him to victory in 5 of their 17 races together, a partnership win rate of 29 percent. Most of Aberama Gold's races come at Class 4 level, where he wins roughly 1 in 5 races — his natural home. He last won at Catterick Bridge four months ago and was racing just yesterday, so he remains very much in active service.
