Em Four

The win rate sits at 20%, which means Em Four wins roughly 1 in every 5 races. At Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter, everyday tier of British racing — that record sharpens even further: 4 wins from 18 races at that grade, a 22% conversion that puts it comfortably among the more reliable performers at that level. The recent form makes encouraging reading too: a win last, a third before that, and a place in five of the last six runs. Whatever this horse is doing right at the moment, it's working.

Two tracks have become familiar territory. Em Four broke its duck at Chelmsford in January 2025 and has since built a record of 2 wins from 5 races there — a 40% win rate at a single course is the kind of number that makes punters take notice. Kempton Park provided the most recent victory, just two weeks ago on 18 March 2026, suggesting the horse is in fine form right now and that all-weather racing suits it well.

The partnership with regular jockey William Carver is an interesting footnote: 0 wins from 8 races together is a stat that raises an eyebrow, even if it doesn't tell the whole story. Carver hasn't been aboard for all of Em Four's wins, which means whoever has been in the saddle on those occasions has clearly found something that works. It's the kind of puzzle that the yard — sorry, that the team at Jamie Osborne's Upper Lambourn yard — will be quietly aware of.

Osborne's yard has sent out 48 winners already this season, which puts it firmly among the productive operations in British racing. A horse coming out of a yard in that kind of form, having just won two weeks ago and boasting a record of more than 1 win in every 5 races, is one worth watching. Em Four isn't making headlines at the top of the sport, but it's the sort of consistent, competitive performer that keeps a yard ticking — and right now, it's running as well as it ever has.
