Golden Long
There's a horse in form right now, and it's worth paying attention. Golden Long, a five-year-old trained by
Lemos De Souza out of Newmarket in Suffolk, has built a solid career record of 3 wins and 7 places from 14 races — that's winning roughly 1 in every 5 races overall (21%), which puts it comfortably ahead of the average racehorse. But the recent numbers are what really stand out: two wins from its last six races, with finishes reading 10-5-3-1-7-1 going back through time. That turnaround from a distant tenth to back-to-back wins is the kind of form that makes people sit up.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Golden Long got its career off the ground with a first win at Happy Valley on 13 December 2023, but the horse has since found its groove closer to home. The most recent victory came just this week — 4 July 2026, at Newmarket, the very track where the yard is based. Winning on your home course is never guaranteed, but it does suggest a horse that's comfortable and well-prepared in familiar surroundings. Racing just one day ago and winning, this horse is as live and current as it gets.
The yard behind Golden Long is also worth noting. Lemos De Souza's operation in Newmarket has sent out 19 winners this season already — a healthy total that speaks to a stable in good working order. When a yard is firing like that, the horses coming out of it tend to be fit, well-managed, and properly placed in the right races. Golden Long looks like a prime example of that approach paying off. With three wins from 14 races and momentum clearly building, this is a horse whose next run will be very easy to look forward to.
