Born A Rebel

The partnership between Born A Rebel and jockey Benoit De La Sayette has been the horse's strongest asset. They have combined for 3 wins from 7 races—a 43% win rate that far outstrips the horse's overall record. When they pair up, the horse performs at a completely different level, which tells you that the right rider can make a real difference to how a horse runs. Over the distances Born A Rebel likes best, from seven furlongs to a mile, the horse has won 2 of 10 races, again suggesting it has a narrow but genuine sweet spot.

However, the recent months have been tough. The last win came at Great Yarmouth on 18 September 2025, nearly a year ago, and Born A Rebel has not won in its last six outings. The horse placed in three of those races—second, second, and fourth—which shows it is still competitive and not struggling for form, just not quite getting over the line. It ran just a day ago, so the yard is keeping it active and looking for that next opportunity. For a horse at this level, a win may not come often, but the combination of a specialist track, the right jockey, and the right distance keeps the door open.
