Elmonjed
Elmonjed is a five-year-old that has cracked the top level of racing, winning a Class 1 race at York in September 2025 — a rare moment of triumph for a horse that thrives in slightly less demanding company. With seven wins from seventeen races, this horse wins roughly two of every five times it runs, a win rate that marks it out as genuinely consistent. What makes Elmonjed especially interesting, though, is the extreme geography of its success: at York, it wins almost every time it shows up. Four victories from six races there is extraordinary form for a single course — that's a 67 percent win rate, the kind of record that makes trainers and jockeys circle a track on their calendar when this horse is entered.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by William Haggas at Newmarket, Elmonjed has developed a clear preference for normal ground conditions, winning four of six races when the turf is neither waterlogged nor rock hard. York clearly suits it far better than other tracks. The horse has been active recently, racing just a day ago, though its form has dipped slightly of late — two wins from its last six races shows it is going through a quieter spell. Most often partnered with jockey Jim Crowley, the pair has managed two victories from nine rides together, suggesting the connection works but is not the horse's most dominant pairing. The yard behind Elmonjed is in excellent form, having sent out 170 winners this season, so there is no shortage of quality around it. This is a horse with genuine talent and a clear preference for York; when it returns to that track on the right ground, it will be worth watching closely.
