Blazeon Five

The standout feature is its love of wet ground. On courses where the going is heavy or muddy, Blazeon Five transforms into something special: it has won 3 of its last 6 races on such conditions, a 50% win rate that makes it one of the kind of horses you circle on the card when rain is forecast. Similarly, when asked to run over longer distances — from a mile and three-quarters to two miles — the horse thrives: 6 wins from 13 races at that trip is a formidable 46% return. Alan King's yard at Wroughton has fashioned a horse built for stamina and mud, which is exactly what British racing often serves up.

Then there is Ascot, where Blazeon Five is almost unbeatable. It has won 3 of its 4 races at that track, a striking record that makes it a genuine course specialist. These are the kinds of details that matter to the yard and punters alike: this is a horse that knows that track and has won consistently there.

The recent form is less glamorous. Blazeon Five has won only 2 of its last 6 races, and it has not tasted victory since December 2025 — nearly nine months ago. That suggests the horse may be past its peak, though its most recent outing was just a day ago, so there is still racing to come. It typically runs in Class 4 races these days, and has won only 1 of its last 10 attempts at that level, which hints that the yard may be finding it harder to place the horse where it can win. That said, a 26% career win rate across 31 races is the mark of a properly sound racehorse, and with the right ground and the right track, Blazeon Five is still capable of running well.
