Captain Parma
Captain Parma has been a grinder rather than a star, picking up places regularly but rarely finding the winner's circle. The 4-year-old has won just once in 17 races—a breakthrough victory at Southwell in October 2024—and has managed eight placed finishes alongside that lone success. Over his last six outings he has not won, though he has finished in the places on three occasions, most recently with a third at his last start just a day ago. At Class 5 level, where he typically competes, he wins roughly 1 in every 11 races, a win rate that reflects a horse hovering around the bottom tier of the racing world.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
James Owen's Newmarket yard has been prolific this season with 205 winners to its name, so Captain Parma operates within a large and busy operation. The horse's consistency in finishing in the money—places in roughly half his races—suggests he has some ability, but a win rate of just 6 per cent overall, and a 12-month drought since his Southwell success, indicates he may be approaching the limit of what he can achieve on the track. Still, at only 4 years old and actively racing, there remains time for him to find another winning opportunity, though the signs point to a horse unlikely to progress much beyond his current level.
