Delpotro

Both of those wins have come at Sedgefield, the tight, undulating circuit in County Durham. Two wins from just four visits there is a remarkable return — that is half his races at the track converted into victories. For context, he has managed just 1 win from 7 races everywhere else. Whatever it is about Sedgefield — the turns, the distance, the way the ground tends to ride — Delpotro simply goes there and performs. His first win came on 13 May 2025, and he went back and did it again on 4 September 2025. When a horse wins half its races at a specific track, you pay attention when the entries come out.

His recent form reads 2-4-3-4-2-1, working backwards from his most recent run — and that is the form of a horse in good health. He has not won since September, but he has been placing consistently, finishing second twice in his last five outings. He raced just yesterday, which means he is fit, active, and being kept busy by the team at Chipping Norton. Charlie Longsdon's yard has sent out 31 winners this season, so this is a trainer operating with confidence at the moment.

The jockey partnership is worth noting too. Sean Bowen has ridden Delpotro in 5 of his 14 races and won twice — that is a 40% win rate together, or 2 wins from 5 rides. That is a genuinely striking number, well above what you would expect at this level. When Bowen is booked, something tends to happen.

Delpotro is a six-year-old who competes mostly at Class 4, the bread-and-butter level of British racing. He is not a star, but he is the kind of horse that rewards paying attention — particularly if the racecourse listed next to his name starts with the letter S.
