Em Four

The real story here is what happens when Saffie Osborne — who rides for the yard — gets the leg up. In 11 races together, they have won 4 times, a 36% win rate that is significantly better than Em Four's overall record. That kind of partnership rarely happens by accident. It suggests the jockey understands how to get the best from this particular horse, whether that is the pace, the tactics, or simply the trust between them. The horse also shows a strong preference for normal ground conditions, winning 2 of 4 races on standard surfaces — a 50% win rate that stands out compared to its overall form.

Em Four is a Class 5 horse, which means it competes in lower-grade races where the field is modest but wins still matter. It has won 4 of 18 races at that level, and it has become something of a specialist at Chelmsford, with 2 wins from 5 races there. Last raced just a day ago, the horse is clearly still active and working through the season. With a trainer sending out 48 winners from the yard this year, there is clearly a team firing on all cylinders — and Em Four, when conditions and jockey align, is capable of playing its part.
