Annie Edson Taylor

Across 20 races she has won 3 and finished in the frame 13 times in total, giving her a win rate of around 15% — or roughly 3 in every 20 races, which in this sport is a perfectly respectable return. She is not a horse who wins every time she turns up, but she is competitive, she keeps showing up in the places, and right now she is clearly in form. She won at Thirsk just last week on the 5th of June 2026, and she raced again only yesterday. That is a busy schedule, which tells you the team believes she is in a good place physically and mentally.

The ground matters with this one. On normal conditions she wins 2 from 7 — that's 29%, which is almost 1 in every 3 races. That is a dramatically better record than her overall figures suggest. When the ground is right, Annie Edson Taylor is a noticeably different proposition. It is the kind of stat a knowledgeable punter would underline twice.

Her recent run of form reads 6-1-6-4-10-6 going back through her last six races — that win sitting second from right is the Thirsk victory from last week. The results either side of it are modest, but the win itself is what matters: she found her moment, delivered it, and the trainer has kept her busy off the back of it. Her first career win came at Bath in September 2024, so she has taken time to develop and find her level, but she appears to have settled comfortably into Class 5 company — the bread-and-butter level of British racing — where she wins roughly 1 in every 8 races in that grade specifically. Not dominant, but present, and apparently improving.
