Anytrixwilldo

That one career win came at Taunton in April 2025, and it remains the defining moment of Anytrixwilldo's career to date. It is worth noting that most of its racing life has been spent in Class 5 — the lower rungs of the sport — where it has managed 0 wins from 12 attempts. Winning at any level is hard, but going winless in 12 races at the easiest grade available is a tough statistic to dress up. It suggests a horse that is competitive enough to keep getting entries but has found ways to make life difficult for its trainer.

That trainer is Jonjo O'Neill, operating out of Cheltenham alongside his son A J O'Neill — a yard that has sent out 51 winners this season, so there is no shortage of talent or know-how behind the horse. Jonjo O'Neill Jr takes the ride most often, partnering Anytrixwilldo in 9 of its 20 races for that 1 win together — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 rides. The combination clearly clicked on that April afternoon at Taunton, and the hope will be they can find that feeling again. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is very much in active training and its the yard are still pressing for more.

At eight, time is not exactly on Anytrixwilldo's side in terms of dramatic improvement, but horses can surprise you. The yard clearly believes there is another good day in this one — you do not keep running a horse 20 times if you have given up on it. Whether Taunton holds the key again, or whether a different track or set of conditions unlocks something new, remains to be seen. For now, it is a horse with one shining moment on its CV and plenty of reasons to keep watching.
