Albie Littlewood

What makes this streak particularly striking is where Albie competes. He typically runs in Class 4 races, which are mid-range contests, and at that level his record is more modest—just one win from four races. But something has clicked in recent weeks. His last six runs show the shape of a horse coming into his own: wins, wins, wins, mixed in with a couple of runs where he finished fifth and sixth, suggesting he can handle varied circumstances. He was trained to his first career win at Huntingdon on 22 December 2025, and it has taken until this week to string together three consecutive victories—a breakthrough that suggests Dan Skelton's yard, based at Alcaster in Warwickshire, has found the right recipe.

Skelton's operation is one of the busiest in Britain; the yard has sent out 198 winners already this season, which speaks to its scale and efficiency. For Albie to be winning races at this pace, during a week when his yard is in full flight, is encouraging. He is still actively racing and clearly thriving. At seven years old, he is entering his prime racing years, and if this winning streak holds, he could climb the ranks in Class racing or step up in grade before the season ends.
