Dino Bellagio
Dino Bellagio is a seven-year-old horse stuck in a difficult patch. With four wins from 23 races — a win rate of roughly one in six — he represents the kind of middle-ranking jumper that fills British racecourses: honest, capable on his day, but not elite. His last success came at Chester on 20 September 2025, now a full year ago, and he has not found the winner's enclosure in his last six attempts. His recent form reads 7-7-4-5-3-8, a sequence that shows occasional signs of life but nothing remotely close to a breakthrough.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The frustration is sharpest in Class 4 races, where Dino Bellagio has managed zero wins from eight attempts. These are mid-tier contests, the bread and butter of many yards, and his complete inability to win at this level suggests he may have plateaued as a racehorse. When partnered with his most frequent rider, Brian Hughes, the record stands at just one win from six races, a 17 percent win rate that does little to inspire confidence. Donald McCain's Cholmondeley yard in Cheshire has been prolific this season, sending out 55 winners, but Dino Bellagio has not been one of them lately. At seven years old, he is now well past his prime, and unless form improves sharply, he looks to be in the twilight of his career. He raced just a day ago, so there is still fight left, but the clock is ticking.
