Apollo One

Apollo One is a horse that has learned how to win at the highest level but doesn't do it often. Now eight years old and still racing, this gelding has collected just 2 wins from 40 career starts—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 20 races—but both victories have come in significant races. A Class 2 win at Kempton Park in November 2022 launched his career on a high, and nearly two years later, in October 2024, he delivered an even bigger moment: a Class 1 success at Ascot, one of Britain's most prestigious racecourses. That Ascot win remains his last victory, now 23 months in the past, and he has failed to win in his last six races despite finishing as high as third.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
TrackLab's Detailed Breakdown
Auto-Generated

Recent form has been patchy. His last six runs show mostly mid-field finishes—a 4th place most recently, then a 10th, followed by 14th, 9th, 3rd, and another 9th. The 3rd place hints that he still has competitive races in him, but the string of lower finishes suggests he is no longer the force he was. At Class 2 level, where he typically competes, he has won just 1 of 20 races (5%), indicating that horses of that standard find him beatable most of the time.

Ridden most often by jockey Richard Kingscote, Apollo One has won 1 of 11 races together (a 9% win rate with that partnership), a slightly better win rate than his career average but still unreliable. Trained by the Newmarket yard of P Charalambous and J Clutterbuck, Apollo One races for a small team—the yard sent out only 2 winners across the entire 2024 season. The horse remains active, having raced just a day ago, suggesting the yard still believe he can find another winning moment, even if the evidence from his recent form makes that look increasingly unlikely.
