The winning streak started at Kempton Park in October 2025 and finished at Wolverhampton in late November, with another win sandwiched in between. Three wins in roughly six weeks is a punishing schedule for a three-year-old, and Bahadur handled it without a stumble. The overall win rate of 43% — winning nearly 3 in every 7 races — would be eye-catching for a seasoned campaigner. For a horse only seven races into its career, it is genuinely remarkable. To put it in context, most racehorses at this level win somewhere between 1 in 8 and 1 in 10 races across their careers.
Where Bahadur really comes alive is over longer distances — 1 mile 6 furlongs up to 2 miles, which in racing terms is proper staying territory, the kind of trip that sorts out horses with stamina and a willingness to keep grinding. Over those trips, the record reads 2 wins from 3 races, a 67% win rate that suggests this is not just a horse winning at the right level — it is a horse winning at the distance it was built for. The Woods yard has sent out 23 winners this season, so this is not a small operation stumbling into form; Bahadur is one of several horses earning their keep.
The one note of caution is the four-month break since that last win at Wolverhampton. Horses can return from a layoff sharper than ever, or they can need a race to find their rhythm again. What we do know is that Bahadur has yet to finish outside the top three in any race — and if that consistency holds on its return, the yard will have every reason to start looking at longer trips and bigger prizes.
