Emerald Harmony
Emerald Harmony picked up a win this week at Newcastle, and while that might sound routine, it comes after a long dry spell for this 5-year-old. The horse was last in the winner's circle back in October 2024 at Tipperary, marking a full year without victory. A single win in the last 36 races is the kind of record that tests any owner's patience, but Emerald Harmony has at least been competitive enough to finish in the top 3 in 17 of those outings—which suggests the horse has something there, even if the wins don't come often.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form is mixed. The last six races show a win, then 4th, 7th, 6th, 6th, and 3rd, so momentum has been building slightly. Paul Midgley's yard at Westow has had a strong season overall, sending out 39 winners, which counts for something. Ben Coen has been Emerald Harmony's main jockey, riding the horse 11 times and winning twice—that's an 18% win rate together, which is a meaningful connection between the two.
With just four wins from 36 races, Emerald Harmony sits at roughly a 1 in 9 win rate overall. That's not a spectacular record, but this week's victory suggests the horse might be finding its feet again after a difficult spell. Whether that's the start of something or just another brief flash remains to be seen.
