He's a course specialist at Southwell, where he has won 2 of his 5 races there (40%), most recently in March 2026. More significantly, Camino Del Ray thrives on normal ground: his record on standard conditions stands at 3 wins from 7 races (43%), which is considerably better than what you'd expect from a horse at his level. This tells you where to look for his best performances—Southwell on a normal day is his happy hunting ground. When Julie Camacho's Norton yard sends him out on those conditions at that track, he has a genuine chance.
Recent form has been patchy. His last six races show a 4-8-4-1-1-6 sequence, meaning he's won twice in that stretch but also pulled up some duds—an eighth place and an unplaced effort. That's the pattern of a horse who can deliver on his day but is inconsistent. He typically runs in Class 5 races and has won 2 of 5 in that company (40%), so he's well-matched at that level when everything aligns.
What's worth noting is that Camino Del Ray was still in action just a day ago, so he remains an active runner. With Camacho's yard in good form—46 winners this season—the horse has every chance of adding to his tally. Watch him at Southwell in normal conditions, and there's a fair chance you'll catch him on a winning day.
