Candy Warhol
Candy Warhol is a seven-year-old horse that has raced 55 times and won just three of them — a 5% win rate that tells you this is a horse plugging away at the lower levels, winning rarely but often finishing in the places. What's interesting is where those wins have come from. All three victories have come at Wolverhampton, where Candy has won 3 of 27 races — a genuine stronghold at a single track. That's a 1-in-9 win rate there, which is the best evidence that this horse has a meaningful connection to the course. The last of those wins came on 16 June 2025, now 16 months in the past, so Candy hasn't tasted success recently despite remaining active and racing just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs best in Class 6 races, where it has won 3 of 20 outings — a 15% win rate that's far ahead of its overall record. Step up the standard and Candy stops winning. This pattern of strength at a particular track and particular level is common in horses at this end of the game, and it tells you exactly what Candy is: a reliable, honest, low-level competitor that will occasionally find a race it can win but mostly finishes mid-field. In its last six races, the horse has placed in four of them (second, third, and third again), but hasn't won. Kieran O'Neill rides Candy more than anyone else, with 2 wins from 18 races together — better than the horse's overall record, though still only 11%, suggesting a workable partnership without being a golden combination. Scott Dixon trains the horse from Rolleston in Nottinghamshire, a yard that has sent out 33 winners this season, placing Candy among a decent string of racehorses.
