Alrazeen

The highlight of that career came at Kempton Park in February 2025, when Alrazeen won a Class 2 race — one of the top tier events in British racing. Getting a win at that level matters. It's the kind of result that tells you the horse has real ability, not just the sort that shows up against weaker company. Wolverhampton has been a particularly happy hunting ground too: 2 wins from just 4 races there is an impressive record, and when a horse keeps coming back to a track and keeps winning, that's not coincidence — it's a horse that genuinely suits the place, whether that's the track shape, the surface, or something else entirely.

The recent form, though, tells a different story. Alrazeen has gone 17 months without winning, and the last six runs read as mostly disappointing — finishing well down the field more often than not, with only a single second place to show. That February 2025 Kempton win now sits looking a little isolated, a flash of that earlier quality that hasn't quite been followed up.

Jockey Hayley Turner has been the most regular partner, riding Alrazeen in 7 of its 20 races and winning 2 of them — that's nearly 1 in 3 together, which is a strong partnership by any measure. The horse is trained by Kieran Burke, whose yard in Whitcombe, Dorset, has sent out 12 winners this season, suggesting the operation is in decent form even if Alrazeen itself is going through a quieter spell.

The fact that the horse raced just yesterday and is clearly still in training means the story isn't finished. A five-year-old with a Class 2 win on its record and a course record at Wolverhampton still has cards to play. Whether that February 2025 form can be rediscovered is the question worth watching.
