Cisco Disco

The most striking number in Cisco Disco's file is the Ayr record: 4 wins from 21 races at the Scottish track. That is nearly one in five, and it matters because Ayr is the home circuit for trainer R Mike Smith, who operates out of Galston in East Ayrshire just a short drive away. Smith's yard has sent out 25 winners already this season, so this is a busy, functioning operation — and Cisco Disco is clearly one of the horses they have figured out. The last of those Ayr wins came in October 2025, meaning the horse remains current and competitive rather than coasting on old glories.

Two other conditions bring out the best in Cisco Disco, and they tend to overlap neatly. On wet or muddy ground the horse has won 2 from 5 races — a 40% win rate that is exceptional at any level. Add in a preference for distances of a mile and three to a mile and four furlongs, where it has won 3 of 11 races (27%), and a picture emerges of a horse that wants soft ground, a genuine test of stamina, and ideally the familiar surroundings of Ayr. When those ingredients combine, it becomes a very different proposition from its overall numbers suggest.

Regular jockey Oisin Orr has ridden the horse 7 times for 1 win together, which means the partnership has not yet fully clicked — but Orr keeps coming back, which tells its own story. Cisco Disco raced just yesterday, so the team are clearly keeping this horse busy while the form holds. For anyone watching the Scottish racing scene, this is an eight-year-old that has found its groove late and is making the most of it.
