Bedouin Prince

Bedouin Prince got off the mark at Doncaster in late March 2025, which is always a meaningful venue — a wide, galloping track that suits horses with a proper engine rather than ones that rely on sharp corners and scrappy tactics. The second win came at Newmarket in May 2025, and that location matters too. Newmarket is where the best flat horses in Britain are tested most regularly, so winning there puts you in decent company by default.

The recent form figures — 6-2-2-1-1-2 — tell an interesting story when you read them in order. That sequence means Bedouin Prince has finished second, won, won, then placed twice and finished sixth. In other words, this horse peaked sharply in the spring, rattled off back-to-back wins, and has since been placed twice without quite reproducing that winning form. A sixth-place finish is the one result that breaks the pattern, and it's worth watching whether that was a blip or a sign the competition has started to figure the horse out.

The trainer is Charlie Appleby, one of the most powerful operations in British racing. Based at Newmarket, his yard has already sent out 121 winners this season alone — that's not a yard that stumbles into success, it's one of the most efficiently run stables in the country, and horses that carry that blue and white silks tend to be well placed and well prepared. Having a horse like Bedouin Prince in that environment is an advantage in itself.

Raced just one day ago and still active, this is a horse in the middle of its story rather than at the end of it. Two wins from six races at four years old, trained by one of Britain's very best, and with a consistent placing record — the question now is whether another win is just around the corner, or whether stepping up against stronger fields will expose a ceiling. Either way, it's worth following.
