Delpotro

Across his career, Delpotro has won 2 of his 13 races and finished in the places six more times, giving him a win rate of around 15%, or roughly 1 in every 7 races. That's a modest headline figure, but the placing record tells a fuller story — he's been competitive far more often than he's been beaten out of sight, which matters. He operates mainly at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle tier of British racing, and has won 1 from 7 races at that grade, a 14% win rate. It suggests he's holding his own rather than dominating, but he's no also-ran either.

Trained by Charlie Longsdon at Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, Delpotro is part of a yard in decent form — 33 winners on the board this season is a solid return, the kind of number that tells you the horses are fit and the team knows what it's doing. Longsdon has placed Delpotro back at Sedgefield to good effect before, and the horse repaid that faith with his most recent win there on 4 September 2025, nearly nine months after his first career win at the same track in May of that year.

His recent run of form reads 4-3-4-2-1 going back from his last few races — not flashy, but there's a second and a win tucked in there, and he raced just one day ago, so he's an active, working racehorse right now. The question going forward is whether Longsdon can find another opportunity at Sedgefield or a similar track to unlock that same spark. Horses like Delpotro — consistent without being spectacular, clearly happier somewhere specific — reward patient placement more than anything else. When the right race comes up at the right place, he's already shown he can take it.
