Calafrio

Calafrio is a hard-knocking 5-year-old with just enough spark to keep things interesting. Three wins from 28 races tells you this is a horse grinding away at the lower levels of the sport, but the recent form suggests something has clicked. She has won twice in her last six outings — most recently at Leicester three weeks ago — which means she is in the kind of form where you could genuinely see her win again soon.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

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

The horse clearly has a preference for fast, dry ground. On those surfaces she has won 2 of her 7 races (that is better than 1 in 4), compared to her overall win rate of just 1 in 9 across all conditions. That is a significant edge, and it tells you exactly when to watch for her: when the track is quick and firm rather than wet or soft. Her first career win came at Thirsk back in August 2024, and she has been winning steadily since then, which suggests she has found her level and is genuinely competitive at Class 6 racing.

There is one oddity worth noting. Andrew Mullen, his regular rider, has not managed a win from seven races together, even though the horse has won twice elsewhere in that same period. That disconnect is unusual and worth watching — it may simply be bad luck, or it could hint that Calafrio runs better for a different jockey. Beyond that, trainer George Baker's yard at Epsom has been sending out winners all season, so the stable is clearly in working order. This is a reliable, straightforward handicapper who knows where she belongs and wins just often enough to justify keeping tabs on.
