Eklleem
There are not many stables in Britain that have sent out 170 winners in a single season, but
William Haggas's Newmarket operation is one of them, and Eklleem is the latest horse to add to that tally. The three-year-old won at Ripon just this week, on 18 June 2026, giving it a career record of one win and two placed efforts from four races — winning 1 in every 4 outings so far, which is a perfectly solid return at this early stage.

What makes that Ripon win worth noting is the form surrounding it. Looking at Eklleem's last four races in reverse order, the sequence reads 1-4-2-6 — meaning a win, then a fourth, then a runner-up finish before that. A horse that finishes second and then comes back to win is one that is learning and improving, not just filling out a card. The sixth-place finish is the one blip, but with only four races under its belt, a three-year-old is still very much a work in progress.
Haggas is one of the most respected trainers in the country, and horses leaving his Newmarket yard tend to be well-placed and well-prepared. With 170 winners already this season, the stable clearly knows how to find the right race at the right time. Eklleem ran just yesterday, so the yard will be watching closely to see how the horse comes out of its latest run before plotting the next step.
