The numbers tell a mixed story. God of War has won twice from 18 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 starts, but those victories have come at the distance where he performs most comfortably. Over 7 furlongs to a mile, he has won 2 of his 12 races there, a win rate of 1 in 6 that stands well above his overall record. His first win came at Doncaster in July 2024; his last, at Sandown Park in August 2025. That 14-month gap explains why he has slipped quietly out of sight, but the recent Chester performance hints that Clover's yard, which has sent out 23 winners already this season, still sees something worth campaigning for. The trainer noted that God of War has been training alongside Harvard Sound, a similar type, suggesting both horses are being prepared with a specific target in mind rather than just being trotted out week to week.
Class 3 racing has been his hunting ground—he has won 1 of 4 races at that level, a 25% conversion rate that is markedly higher than his all-race average. If Clover can steer him back to that calibre of competition and the distances he handles best, God of War may yet justify the faith being shown in him. For now, he remains very much active and chasing that third career win.
