Cavallo Pazzo

Cavallo Pazzo won most recently this week at Newcastle on 16 October 2026, a victory that came at just the right moment given its variable recent form. Looking back six races, the record reads 1-8-6-7-9-7 — a stark reminder that consistency has not been this horse's hallmark. The win at Newcastle broke a long drought and shows the horse still has racing left in it at seven years old. When the horse has found the winning line, it has typically done so at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, winning 2 of 8 races over that range (25%).

Dylan Browne McMonagle, the horse's most frequent partner, has ridden it to both of those distance-suited wins. Together they have won 2 of 9 races (22%), a partnership that works better than the horse manages overall. The pairing will be one to watch, particularly if wet ground comes into play and distance sits in that sweet spot. Cavallo Pazzo may not be a headline act, but it has a clear profile — a horse that punches above its weight when rain hammers the track and the trip falls right.
