Chica Guerrera
Chica Guerrera is a 4-year-old who has spent two years learning her trade, picking up wins sparingly but consistently enough to suggest she knows what she is doing over a distance where she clearly feels at home. With three victories from 21 races, she wins roughly one in every seven outings — modest by elite standards, but the shape of her recent form tells a more encouraging story. In her last six races, she has finished in the money five times, including two second-place finishes and a win just four months ago at Down Royal in June. That suggests a horse who is reliable and honest rather than flaky, the sort who shows up and gives what she has got.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The distance between 7 furlongs and a mile suits her best — at that trip she has won one from three races, a 33 percent win rate that stands well above her career average and points to a sweet spot in the ground she covers. Her trainer Mark Fahey, based in County Kildare, has built a successful yard sending out 24 winners already this season, and Chica Guerrera looks like a horse he has had patience with, waiting for the right races rather than pitching her into battles she cannot win. She picked up her maiden victory at Gowran Park last October and has found the winner's circle twice more since then, most recently at Down Royal, where she proved she could deliver on the track when conditions aligned. Racing just yesterday, she remains active and keen, which at four years old is when many horses are still finding their feet in the sport.
