Havana Rum

Havana Rum is a solid operator at modest level, a six-year-old that wins roughly one in every eight races overall but is genuinely dangerous when conditions suit. The horse has found its groove at Ripon, where it has landed two wins from just three attempts — a win rate that stands out sharply against a career average of 12%. That kind of course form is the sort of thing that catches the eye. The horse last won at Chelmsford on 4 December 2025, nine months ago, and has not found the winner's enclosure in its last six races, so the wins are becoming harder to come by.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The real insight into Havana Rum's level comes at Class 4, where it wins roughly one in every five races — three wins from 15 attempts. That is a meaningful rate, and it tells you this is a horse that belongs in that tier and can compete successfully when stepped to that level without being stretched too far. Trained by Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, it is ridden most often by Oisin Orr, who has partnered it for 17 races and scored twice, mirroring the horse's overall win rate of 12%. The Fahey yard has sent out 23 winners this season and clearly knows how to place horses to their advantage. Havana Rum is still actively racing — it ran just a day ago — which means the yard still believe there is more to come, even if recent form has been frustrating. For a horse in its sixth year with 51 races on the clock, consistency is the name of the game, and that is exactly what Havana Rum has delivered: not a star, but a dependable sort that knows where the finish line is.
