Cuban Girl
Cuban Girl broke through for her first win at Brighton on 9 June 2025, a moment that came after 13 fruitless attempts — but it has now been 15 months since that single success. The 4-year-old, trained by
Brian Toomey at Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire, has struggled to replicate that form since. She has managed four places in her last six races but crossed the line first just once in 14 career starts, a win rate of 1 in every 14 races. That Brighton victory remains her only breakthrough in a career that, by any measure, has been a slog.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Where Cuban Girl shows most promise is over middle distances, specifically from seven furlongs to a mile. Over that range she has won 1 of 6 races — a 17% win rate that stands sharply above her overall record and hints at a horse who suits that trip. At Class 5 level, where she has mostly competed, she has won 1 of 7 races, again a 14% win rate that suggests she belongs in that grade when conditions favour her. Brian Toomey's yard has sent out 10 winners this season, so the trainer knows how to get horses to the line. Still, Cuban Girl's recent form — a sequence of eighth, fourth, fifth, second, tenth and ninth — shows a horse struggling for consistency. She raced just yesterday, which means she remains active and in work, though her last six races tell the story of a horse searching for another day in the sun. That Brighton win more than a year ago now feels like a high-water mark.
