Eupator

Both victories have come at Wolverhampton, and both arrived within the space of just a few days in late January 2026. That makes Eupator two from five at the track — winning 40% of its races there — which is a remarkable return for any horse at any level. For context, most horses are lucky to win at one venue at all in their careers, let alone build a genuine record of dominance at a specific track. Something about Wolverhampton suits this horse, whether that is the all-weather surface, the shape of the circuit, or simply the class of competition it tends to meet there.

Speaking of class, Eupator competes mostly at Class 5 level — the kind of races that sit towards the lower end of the sport, but where the competition is still real and winning is never guaranteed. At that level, it has won 2 from 8, or 1 in every 4 races, which is a solid record. Its preferred trip is between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, and over those distances it has won 2 of its 6 races — one in every three starts. That is the kind of number that makes a trainer sit up and take notice when the entries go in.

Richard Hannon's yard at Herridge in Wiltshire is one of the more active operations in British racing right now, having sent out 109 winners already this season. Sean Levey, who rides Eupator most often, has won 2 of his 8 rides on the horse — 1 in every 4 — which is a strong partnership by any measure. The fact that Eupator raced just yesterday means it is in the middle of an active campaign, and with the Wolverhampton form to build on and a trainer firing at a high rate, there is every reason to think those two wins from January will not be the last entries in its record.
