Trained by Jessica Macey out of Doncaster, he is part of a yard that has hit the ground running this season with 15 winners already. His most regular jockey is Lewis Edmunds, who has partnered him in 21 of his 38 races — a long-running combination — though together they have only converted 2 of those into wins, roughly 1 in every 10 rides. That is a modest return, but it speaks more to the level Dark Side Prince competes at than any lack of ability. He mostly runs in Class 5 company, which is everyday, bread-and-butter racing, and even there he has only managed 3 wins from 22 races at that level — about 1 in 7.
His recent form makes for mixed reading: in his last 6 races, a win sits in the middle of the sequence (his Chelmsford victory back in October 2025, now six months ago), sandwiched between a string of fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth-place finishes. He raced just yesterday, so he is clearly being kept busy, which is exactly what trainers tend to do with seasoned older horses who thrive on routine. At 9, Dark Side Prince is no longer a horse chasing new heights — he is a professional journeyman who has earned his place in the sport through sheer consistency over 38 races. Over £74,000 in career earnings would tell you he has made the yard plenty of use along the way. Whether he can add to his Chelmsford tally remains the most interesting question around him.
