Howzak

The bulk of Howzak's work gets done at Class 6 level, the everyday bread-and-butter tier of British racing. Seven wins from 26 races at that level works out at 27%, or more than 1 in every 4 — and that is a healthy return. It means Howzak is regularly competitive at this grade, not just making up the numbers. The career started with a first win at Chelmsford back in October 2021, and the horse has kept delivering ever since.

There is a particular affection for Lingfield Park, where Howzak has won 2 of 5 races. Two wins from five might not sound dramatic, but winning 40% of your races at any track — 2 in every 5 — is the kind of record that makes trainers and jockeys sit up and take notice. When this horse goes to Lingfield, it goes there with a genuine chance.

The most recent win came at Newcastle in February 2026, just four months ago, so this is far from a horse running on memory alone. The last six runs read 8-8-4-1-9-7, which shows some inconsistency, but that single figure in the middle — a win — is a reminder of what Howzak is capable of on the right day. The horse raced just yesterday, which underlines that this is an active, fully campaigned competitor.

Trainer Liam Bailey operates out of Middleham in North Yorkshire and has had a productive season, sending out 17 winners. Jockey Billy Garritty has partnered Howzak in 10 of those 41 races, winning 2 of them — a 20% win rate that mirrors the horse's overall record almost exactly. That kind of consistency between horse, rider, and yard suggests a team that knows exactly what they have and how to get the best from it.
