Arbitration
Arbitration is a 4-year-old with a modest record: one win from sixteen races across its career, with four additional top-3 finishes. The breakthrough came at Wolverhampton on 2 September 2025, but that remains its only victory in fourteen months, and the horse has not finished in the top 3 in its last six outings.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse performs noticeably better over middle distances between one mile and one furlong and one mile and two furlongs, winning one of three races at that trip—a 33 percent win rate that stands out against its 6 percent win rate overall. At the higher class levels, though, Arbitration struggles; it has yet to win from six races in Class 4 company. Joe Tizzard's yard at Milborne Port has been sending out winners steadily this season, and Clifford Lee has partnered Arbitration most often in the saddle, with one win from six rides together—a 17 percent return that exceeds the horse's general form. That narrow compatibility with Lee hints at the value of the right jockey at the right moment, though neither has managed to spark a consistent run in recent months.
