Golden Havana

Golden Havana is a 3-year-old that has managed just one win from 14 races, but there is at least one bright spot in its record: it tends to run well at Newcastle. The horse has won 1 of its 4 races at that track, a 25 per cent win rate, and that victory came on 16 December 2025. Since then, eight months have passed without another win, though the recent form — a sequence of second, second, second, third, third over the last six outings — suggests the horse is competitive without quite getting over the line. That pattern of minor placings is frustrating for any owner, because it shows ability but also shows a run of narrow misses.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The horse is trained by Michael Dods at Piercebridge in County Durham, a yard that has had a productive season with 43 winners sent out already. Dods has saddled Golden Havana for five races with Sean Kirrane in the saddle, and together they have recorded one win — a 20 per cent win rate between them, better than the horse's overall tally of 7 per cent across all 14 races. That suggests the partnership works, at least when the conditions align. Golden Havana raced as recently as one day ago, so the team are keeping it active and looking for another opening.
