Elpologreg
Elpologreg is a horse that knows the feeling of a breakthrough, even if it has been a long while coming. The seven-year-old broke through for a maiden win at Fakenham on 16 February 2024, but that victory now sits nearly three years in the past — a single triumph across 23 career races that amounts to a win rate of just 1 in 25 outings. Since that day at Fakenham, nothing has landed, despite 19 further attempts. At Class 5 level, where the horse typically competes, it has managed just that one win from 19 races, suggesting it sits right at the threshold of where it can compete.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form tells a familiar story. Over the last six races, Elpologreg has finished in the top 3 twice — a second place and a third — but victories remain out of reach. The horse was last in the paddock just a day ago, so it remains an active runner in the lower tiers of racing, still hunting for that second career win. Daniel Sansom, its most frequent jockey, has ridden it in eight races without a win between them, a partnership that has not yet struck gold. For a seven-year-old still racing regularly, Elpologreg is a horse of modest achievement but genuine durability — the kind that turns up week after week at smaller courses, occasionally finishing close to the money but rarely in the winner's circle.
