Beggarman

His last win came at Ffos Las on 16 July 2025, nearly 13 months ago. He loves that track—two wins from five races there—but since that day he has had six consecutive runs without a victory, though he has picked up a second-place finish and two fourth-place efforts in that stretch. When the ground is normal and dry, he is at his best, winning three times from 13 races (a 23 per cent win rate), well above his overall average. On softer or heavier ground, he tends to fade. Most of his wins have come in lower-level races—four victories from 19 Class 6 events—where he belongs. Rob Hornby has ridden him eight times with just one win between them, suggesting the pairing has not quite clicked despite their partnership.

The horse is still running regularly; he raced just a day ago and clearly has legs left in him. Morrison has indicated he will target Lingfield and Chepstow in the coming week, searching for that seventh career win. For a nine-year-old in the lower reaches of the sport, Beggarman represents something honest: not a star, not a reject, but a working horse with enough quality to win occasionally and enough durability to keep trying. He may not be thrilling, but he is reliable in his own stubborn way.
