Fine Interview

At five years old, Fine Interview has built a career record that would make most racehorses jealous — 6 wins and 12 places from just 16 races, meaning it has finished in the top three in every single one of them. That works out to winning roughly 2 in every 5 races it enters, which is an exceptional number at this level. It got its first win back in August 2024 at Ffos Las, but the trajectory since then has been impressive. Three wins from its last six races, including a top-level Class 2 — one of the best races in Britain — at Doncaster in October 2025, tells you this is a horse that has been improving.

The wet ground angle is worth understanding because it genuinely divides horses. Some hate it, some tolerate it, and a rare few absolutely thrive on it. Fine Interview belongs firmly in that last group. On soft or muddy ground it has won 5 of its 8 races — that is 62%, which in racing terms is bordering on freakish. Trainers and jockeys pay close attention to the weather forecast for exactly this reason.

Then there is Doncaster. Three wins from five visits to that track is the kind of record that gets people talking. Racecourses have different shapes, different cambers, different home straights, and some horses just suit certain places far better than others. Fine Interview at Doncaster is a combination worth noting — and it underlined that point again just this week, winning there on 29 March 2026. It only wins 1 in every 6 races at Class 3 level, its most common level of competition, which makes its ability to step up and win a Class 2 all the more striking.

Jockey James Doyle has ridden Fine Interview seven times and won three of those — just over 4 in every 10 rides together. That kind of partnership builds understanding, and trainer Hamad Al Jehani's yard has sent out 15 winners already this season, suggesting this is an operation in very good form. Fine Interview looks like it is right at its peak, and if rain is forecast before its next run, it is exactly the sort of horse worth paying attention to.
