Alaminos
There's a lot to like about a three-year-old that wins one in every three races — that's a sharper record than most horses will ever manage, and Alaminos has done exactly that, taking 1 of its 3 races so far. The win came at Thirsk on 15 August 2025, and what makes it particularly encouraging is the recent form around it: the sequence reads 1-4-2 working backwards, meaning Alaminos won most recently, had a trickier outing before that, and placed second on its debut. That's a horse trending in the right direction.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Alaminos is trained by Kevin Ryan at Hambleton in North Yorkshire, and the yard is in serious form right now — 45 winners already this season is the kind of output that tells you the horses are fit, well-managed, and being placed in races they can win. Ryan has a reputation for bringing younger horses along patiently, and a three-year-old with a win and two places from just three outings is exactly the kind of lightly-raced prospect a shrewd yard keeps in reserve. The fact that Alaminos raced just one day ago and is currently active suggests the team see more to come in the near term.
Thirsk, where the win landed, is a tight, flat track in North Yorkshire that suits horses who travel well through a race rather than relying on a late burst of raw speed. Winning there as a three-year-old on what was still an early career outing is a decent marker. The story here is simple but genuinely promising: a young horse, a confident yard firing on all cylinders, and a record that already shows more polish than most at this stage.
