Epidavros

Epidavros is a five-year-old horse that has carved out a modest but steady racing career, winning 2 of her 30 races and finishing in the placings 13 times—a record that speaks to consistency more than brilliance. Those two wins came in quick succession back in September 2024, at Carlisle and then Hamilton Park, but the last 24 months have been frustrating: she has not found the winner's circle since, though she remains active and was racing just a day ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

What makes Epidavros worth watching is the pattern beneath the numbers. She performs best at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, where she has won 1 of her 3 races—a 33 percent win rate that hints at a sweet spot. At Class 5 level, where she typically races, she has won 2 of 11 races (18 percent), which is respectable for that tier. More intriguingly, jockey P J McDonald has a notably better record with her than the figures alone suggest: he has steered her to 2 wins from 8 races together (25 percent), significantly above her overall average.

Trainer Katie Scott, based in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, has been upbeat about Epidavros's potential, particularly for the autumn months. Scott notes that the mare has been paying her way with recent placed finishes—a second in a significant fillies' race at Musselburgh and another second in a Sunday Series race at Hamilton—and crucially, the trainer believes Epidavros thrives on soft or wet ground. With that in mind, Scott expects the horse to flourish and rack up several wins when autumn arrives and the ground becomes heavy. For now, Epidavros remains a horse in waiting, one whose best days on the track may still lie ahead once the weather turns.
