Baloo's Blues

With one win and four places from eleven races, he wins roughly one in every eleven starts—a modest record, but his recent form shows he is competing and finishing in the places more often than not. His last six races have brought two second-place finishes, which suggests he has the speed to get close without quite sealing the deal.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The horse's one victory came at Lingfield Park on 27 June 2026, and that win came exactly three months ago. He has managed to place in four of his last six runs, with second place finishes in his most recent outing and four races back—signs that he is finding his feet at his current level. What matters most is that Baloo's Blues performs noticeably better over a specific range: at distances between 1 mile 3 furlongs and 1 mile 4 furlongs, he has won one of three races, a 33% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record.

Trained by Charles Hills at Lambourn in Berkshire, Baloo's Blues runs for a yard that has been in good form this season, sending out 29 winners. The horse typically competes in Class 5 races—the lower end of the racing ladder—but has yet to win at that level, going zero from four attempts. This suggests that while he can beat horses at his level on his day, he has done so only at slightly higher grades. He raced just one day ago, so he remains an active and regular competitor, a horse still being campaigned and given opportunities to find his next win.
