Albegone

The most interesting number in Albegone's record is four — specifically, four wins from 12 races at Catterick Bridge. One win in three at a specific track is the kind of figure that makes trainers and jockeys take notice. Tracks have their own quirks, their own cambers and bends, and some horses simply suit certain places better than others. Catterick suits Albegone. The last win there came on 30 May 2025, which was just over a year ago, but the horse races on — it ran just yesterday — so that record remains very much alive.

Conditions matter too. On wet or slightly soft ground, Albegone wins roughly 1 in every 4 races — three wins from 11 in each category. That is a meaningfully better record than on faster ground, and it is the kind of detail a knowledgeable follower would file away for a wet Tuesday in Yorkshire. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton has sent out 128 winners this season alone, so the horse is in capable hands, and when David Allan is in the saddle the combination becomes particularly potent — seven wins from 30 rides together, which is almost 1 in every 4, a win rate that stands well above the overall career average.

Class 4 has been the usual level for Albegone, and honestly the record there is modest — just one win from 25 races, or roughly 1 in 25. That single stat quietly explains the rest of the picture: this is a horse that finds winning genuinely difficult at the level it usually competes at, which makes those four Catterick wins, and that superior record on softer ground, all the more worth understanding. The formula, when it clicks, is fairly clear. Get Albegone to Catterick on a rainy day with Allan aboard, and you have a horse that transforms from an occasional runner into something worth watching properly.
