Clasina

The interesting part is what has happened recently. She won at Newcastle just this week, on 16 October, which marks her second victory in her last six races. Before that, she had finished third at an unspecified track, then fourteenth, ninth, tenth, and first — a recent run that at least proves she can find the winning post when circumstances align. Her first career win came more than a year ago at Great Yarmouth on 24 August 2025, suggesting this is a horse that saves her victories for special moments rather than spreading them evenly across the season.

John Berry, her trainer at Newmarket, has described her as "a bit of an enigma" — a horse with fair ability but one that keeps finding reasons not to win. She has been finished in the top 3 plenty of times, she notes, but trouble in running and small things going wrong have been her companions. At Class 6 level, where she races most often, she has won just once from eight attempts, a 12 per cent return that underlines how inconsistent she can be. Jockey P J McDonald has ridden her six times without a victory, though that small sample size may not be especially meaningful. With Berry's yard sending out thirteen winners already this season, Clasina remains the kind of horse that could still offer value on a day when everything clicks into place — she has done it twice already.
