The nine-year-old has built a career record of 7 wins and 15 places from 34 races, a win rate of around 21%, or roughly 1 in every 5 races. That is a solid return by any measure, but the number that really tells the story is this: 3 wins from 8 races at Ffos Las. That is the local track in south Wales, and Esperti has made it something close to a home patch. Winning 3 of 8 races at a specific course is not coincidence — it suggests the track genuinely suits him, whether that is the layout, the way races are run there, or simply the familiarity of the surroundings. His most recent win came there just six weeks ago, in April 2026, and he has raced as recently as yesterday.
His last six runs read 3-2-1-1-2-5 — two wins, three places, and one disappointing effort. That is the kind of form that makes punters take notice: consistent, competitive, and clearly going in the right direction. Assistant trainer Callum Griffiths has described Esperti as "not the most straightforward to train", which is an honest admission that this is a horse who needs things done just right. When they are, he delivers.
A big part of getting it right is Sean Bowen in the saddle. The pair have a record of 3 wins from 10 races together — a win rate of 30%, winning almost 1 in every 3 races they share. Griffiths has spoken warmly about the Bowen family's support of the yard, crediting Sean and his brother James as key figures who let the team use their gallops and offer guidance. That relationship is more than professional courtesy — it seems to have a direct effect on results.
Rees is a small operation based in Clarbeston, Pembrokeshire, with just 3 winners sent out this season. In that context, a horse like Esperti — consistent, course-savvy, and currently in form — is exactly the kind of animal a yard builds around. He mostly competes at Class 5, the lower end of British racing, winning 3 of his 15 races at that level, but he is doing it reliably and he is doing it now. At nine years old and in the form of his recent life, there may still be more wins in him yet.
