Baba Reza
Baba Reza has had a quiet career so far — one win from 18 races means this eight-year-old horse wins roughly once every eighteen attempts. That single victory came nearly two years ago, on 19 July 2024 at Haydock Park, and since then the horse has been chasing that feeling without success. Recent form tells the story: a string of fourth, fourth, third, second, sixth, and eleventh place finishes across the last six races shows a horse that occasionally threatens to challenge — that second place finish suggests Baba Reza can still be competitive — but rarely finds the bit needed to get over the line.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Julie Camacho's Norton yard has had a successful season with 46 winners, which speaks to the quality of horsepower there, but Baba Reza has not benefited from that momentum. The horse has stepped into Class 4 races (roughly the mid-tier level) six times without winning, which suggests this is where the ceiling sits. Graham Lee, the most frequent rider, has had no luck aboard — zero wins from five races together. Still, the fact that Baba Reza raced just a day ago shows it remains active and sound, even if success has dried up. For a horse that turns eight-year-old, staying in regular competition is something, and that second-place finish in recent weeks proves there is still a flicker of ability left to draw on.
