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

His overall record tells the story of a horse who wins sparingly but not rarely: two victories from 18 races means he wins roughly 1 in every 9 races, a modest return that speaks to a horse competing at the right level for him in Class 6 contests. What is more encouraging is his recent form. In his last six races, he has never finished out of the placings — placing second twice, third once, and fifth once — suggesting he is running with consistency and coming close to another breakthrough. He raced just a day ago, confirming he remains active and in work.

Saffie Osborne has been his regular partner in the saddle, with one win from six rides together, a 17% return that hints at a useful partnership. Given that Black Cab's overall win rate sits at 11%, those figures with Osborne suggest they may work well together when conditions align. At five years old, he is still a horse in his prime racing years, and with Wolverhampton clearly a track that brings out his best, there is every reason to think he could add to his tally if he returns there soon.
