Em Jay Kay
Em Jay Kay is a seven-year-old horse that has been racing hard for nearly four years without ever quite becoming the consistent winner its the yard might have hoped for. Since that first win at Wolverhampton back in December 2022, it has picked up six victories in total across 57 races — a win rate of roughly one in nine outings, which puts it firmly in the middle ranks of the racetrack. The horse knows how to find the winner's enclosure, but the wins come few and far between, and they have dried up completely over the last seven months.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Phil McEntee at Newmarket, Em Jay Kay typically races at Class 5 level, where it has won 3 of its 29 races there (10%). Most of its work comes from the saddle of Grace McEntee, who has ridden the horse to three victories from 22 races together — a 14% win rate that suggests they work well as a team, even if the overall picture remains modest. The last win came at Lingfield Park on 17 January 2026, but since then the form has slipped noticeably. Its most recent six races have all been without success, finishing fourth, tenth, eighth, eleventh, ninth and eighth again. That last run was just a day ago, suggesting the horse remains active and in regular work, even if the results are not coming at present. For a seven-year-old in the middle years of its career, Em Jay Kay remains a hard-trying competitor, but it has not quite managed the consistency needed to stand out.
