Alashos

Overall, the record reads 2 wins and 9 places from 25 races — a win rate of around 1 in every 12 or 13 runs, which is modest on paper. But strip out the Lingfield races and that number tells a very different story. The most recent win came at Lingfield on 30 April 2026, just three weeks ago, so this is a horse in current form rather than one living on past glories. Recent runs of 4-1-8-4-4-5 show a mixed picture, but that second place in the mix suggests it is capable of competing right at the sharp end when conditions suit.

The horse is trained by Chris Gordon, whose yard near Winchester has been in excellent shape this season — 51 winners sent out already, which signals a team that knows how to have a horse ready to perform. Alashos is most often ridden by Adam Farragher, who has partnered the horse in 10 of its 25 races and was aboard for at least one of those Lingfield victories. Their record together sits at 1 win from 10 — roughly 1 in every 10 races — which is not spectacular in isolation, but context matters enormously with a horse like this.

Alashos typically competes at Class 5 level, one of the lower tiers of British racing, where fields tend to be competitive and wins are hard to come by even for good horses at that grade. Winning 1 from 12 at that level, around 8%, is about par for the course. The Lingfield record, though, lifts this horse above the ordinary. At four years old and racing just yesterday, Alashos is very much an active prospect — and if the schedule brings it back to Lingfield Park, the track record alone makes it worth watching.
