Freddy Robinson

Freddy Robinson is a seven-year-old who has spent most of his racing life just outside the winner's circle. In 47 races, he has won only 4 — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 11 outings — but his record tells a story of a horse that works better in certain conditions and on certain surfaces than others. His trainer, Brian Ellison, who runs a successful yard from Norton in North Yorkshire, believes the horse belongs in the winners' enclosure more often than he gets there.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 horse's two most recent wins came over jumps: one at Catterick and one at Market Rasen in early December 2025, roughly ten months ago. Both victories came on wet ground, and that is Freddy Robinson's sweet spot. When conditions are wet and muddy, he wins 2 races from every 5 he runs (40% win rate) — far better than his overall record. Even on slightly soft ground, he has won twice from 13 races (15%). On faster, firmer conditions, he struggles to make an impact. Ellison has noted that the horse clearly prefers jumping and wet ground, and is currently waiting for conditions to improve before running again. The trainer also hinted that the horse might eventually return to flat racing, where — according to Ellison — he should be winning races at that level too. Until recently, with Ben Robinson in the saddle, the horse has won just once from 20 races together, suggesting the partnership has not quite clicked. What works in Freddy Robinson's favour is that Brian Ellison's yard is firing on all cylinders this season, having sent out 43 winners already. A horse with his proven preference for wet ground and jumps, trained by a trainer in form, could yet deliver better returns if conditions cooperate.
