Ciao Capo

Ciao Capo is a three-year-old still finding its feet in the racing world, but the signs are genuinely encouraging. In 13 career races, the horse has won four times and placed five more — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3 races — which is the kind of win rate that draws attention at smaller British tracks. What makes this record more impressive is the momentum: Ciao Capo has won three of its last six races, with only one complete absence from the frame in that spell. The horse raced just a day ago and remains in active training, suggesting the Fahey yard sees potential worth pursuing.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The real story here is pattern and preference. Ciao Capo absolutely thrives on fast, dry ground, winning three of four races (75%) when conditions suit. This is not luck — it is a clear edge. The horse also shows marked course form over a specific distance range. At tracks running 1m1f to 1m2f — roughly a mile and a tenth to a mile and a quarter — it has won three of six races (50%), a genuinely competitive win rate at that trip. Most striking of all is Beverley, where Ciao Capo has become something of a specialist. In just three races there, it has won twice, most recently six weeks ago on 12 August. Horses with this kind of preference for certain courses often find their level and keep winning there; it is worth watching Ciao Capo's entries.

The horse is trained by Richard and Peter Fahey from their yard at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a stable that has sent 23 winners out this season and knows how to place horses to their advantage. The first career win came at Newcastle in November 2025. With dry ground conditions favourable and a clear liking for shorter miles, Ciao Capo looks like a horse that could rack up more wins if kept to races that suit its profile.
