Fondo Blanco

The biggest moment of its short career came at Haydock Park on 27 September 2025, where it won a Class 2 race — one of the top races in Britain. Winning at that level as a two-year-old is a genuine statement. These are not races for ordinary horses; they attract the best of the best, and Fondo Blanco beat them. Its first career win had come nearly a year earlier at York in October 2024, so there is already a clear upward arc to its story: first win at a prestigious northern track, then stepping up to land one of the country's top races.

Roger Varian, who trains the horse out of Newmarket, is having an exceptional season — his yard has sent out 87 winners already this term, making it one of the most productive operations in the country right now. When a yard is firing on all cylinders like that, horses in their care tend to be spot-on and well-placed, which adds to the confidence you can take from Fondo Blanco's recent performances.

Jockey Ray Dawson has partnered Fondo Blanco in 5 of its 10 races, winning once together — a 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5 rides. That mirrors the horse's overall record almost exactly, suggesting a settled partnership that knows how to get the best out of each other. The recent form reading shows a win, two second places, and a fourth in the last five completed runs — sharp, consistent, and clearly in good heart. At two years old, with a Class 2 win already on its record and a trainer sending out winners at a remarkable rate, Fondo Blanco looks like a horse whose story is only just getting started.
