Hundred Caps

Trained by one of the most productive yards currently operating in the north — Camacho's team has sent out 46 winners already this season — Hundred Caps is a 4-year-old with a career win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 races. That is a decent return at the level it competes, which is mostly Class 5, the bread-and-butter tier of British racing. At that level it has won 2 of 9 races, or just over 1 in 4, which suggests it is competitive without being dominant. Still, "competitive without being dominant" is not the whole story — it has also picked up 8 places from 18 races, meaning it finishes in the top few more often than not.

The clearest edge this horse has is what happens when the ground dries out. On fast, dry ground Hundred Caps has won 2 of its 5 races — a 40% win rate that is simply extraordinary by any standard. For context, even the very best horses in training rarely win 4 in 10 over a sustained sample. When conditions suit, this horse is a different animal.

Its most recent win came at Southwell back in January 2026, now six months ago, and the last six runs have produced no victories — just two runner-up finishes and some mid-field efforts. Ryan Sexton, who rides it most often, has won once from their seven races together. That drought will be on everyone's mind. But Hundred Caps raced just yesterday and is clearly fit and active, and with summer ground and a trip back to Beverley potentially on the cards, the ingredients for a return to winning are not hard to imagine.
