Folkene

Folkene is a 4-year-old that has proven hard to pin down over the course of 13 races, winning just once while finishing in the top 3 on one other occasion—a record that sits at roughly 1 win in every 12 or 13 races. That single victory came at Newmarket back in August 2025, and it remains the horse's only winning moment; the 14 months since have brought nothing but frustration, with six straight races without a victory to show for the effort.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The recent form tells a tale of inconsistency. Looking at the last six runs, Folkene has managed finishes of fourth and seventh, which hint at the kind of middle-of-the-field performances that have defined much of its career. Joanna Mason, who has ridden the horse six times, has struck a slightly better chord—winning one of those six races together, a 17% return—but even that partnership has not translated into sustained success. Back at Roger Fell's Nawton yard in North Yorkshire, the trainer has been having a solid season with 25 winners to his name, yet Folkene has not been among the beneficiaries of that good form. With the horse still actively racing just a day ago, the wait continues for that elusive second win.
