Callianassa
Callianassa is a five-year-old who knows where to win. Her record of five wins from 47 races tells you she is a solid mid-range competitor rather than a star, but the story gets more interesting when you look at where those wins come from. At Class 4 level — middle-tier racing — she wins roughly one in every four races, with four wins from 15 attempts. That is genuinely sharp form, and it explains why
Brian Ellison's yard keeps running her at that grade. Most tellingly, she has found her ideal distance: between one mile and a furlong and one mile and two furlongs, she has won three of her last 16 races, a 19% win rate that stands out from her overall 11% win rate across all distances.

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Her recent form shows the kind of consistency you expect from a race-fit horse. She raced just yesterday and in the six races before that produced two places — including a win at York this week on 10 October — sandwiched around some moderate efforts. That win at York is exactly the sort of result that keeps a Class 4 horse in work: fresh enough to still beat her usual rivals, sturdy enough to compete often without falling apart. Ben Robinson has ridden her in 20 races and won twice, a 10% win rate that suggests they work well together without being a special partnership. The York win this week proves Callianassa is still sharp and capable of finding the frame regularly. At her age and level, that is the job — and she is doing it.
