Canvas

The horse's best racing comes at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, where it has won 3 of 9 races (a 33% win rate), significantly better than its overall average. That narrow range tells you something important: Canvas has a clear preference, and when the race is set up the right way, it performs. On normal ground conditions, the picture is similar — 2 wins from 8 races, a 25% win rate that stands well above its overall numbers. The timing of its races matters less than the setup itself.

Doncaster has been a happy hunting ground. Canvas has won 2 of its 5 races there, suggesting a genuine affinity with the track. That first career win came at Doncaster on 17 May 2025, and the horse returned to the same course to win again. Most of its racing has been at Class 5 level, where it has won once from six attempts. Trainer Scott Dixon, based at Rolleston in Nottinghamshire, has sent out 33 winners this season and works with a useful yard, though Canvas's recent form has been lean — no wins in the last six races, with its most recent outing just yesterday producing a sixth-place finish. The horse last won on 7 September 2025, now over a year ago. Jockey Joey Haynes has ridden Canvas five times, winning once, a 20% win rate that suggests they work reasonably well together. Canvas remains actively racing despite the drought, a horse still looking for its next opportunity.
