Dion Baker

Brighton is where Dion Baker thrives. He has won 4 of his 13 races at that track — a win rate of roughly 30% — and his last victory came there just three months ago, on 7 July 2026. That recent win matters. It shows he is not a fading horse; he is still competitive. His current form is lean — no wins in his last six races, with a sequence of 3-8-2-9-4-8 that includes some well-beaten runs. But a horse with his profile does not need to win every month. When Michael Wigham, his trainer at Newmarket, gets the ground right and puts him on a track he knows, Dion Baker delivers.

Adam Farragher has ridden him 15 times but has won just once in the saddle — a 7% win rate that suggests they may not be the perfect pairing. That is worth noting for anyone watching his next race. After that, it is simple: fast ground plus Brighton plus the right jockey equals a horse worth backing. He is currently active and was last in action just a day ago, so another opportunity will come soon.
