Immortal Fame

The bulk of that success has come at Class 4 level — broadly the middle tier of British racing, not the glamour end but genuinely competitive — where Immortal Fame has won 4 of 13 races at a 31% clip. That is a horse operating in exactly the right company for its ability, which is a skill in itself. Deborah Cole, who trains from her yard in Knowle, Warwickshire, has clearly found the sweet spot. Her team has sent out 4 winners already this season, and Immortal Fame is a reliable part of why that number keeps ticking upward.

There is also a particular fondness for Uttoxeter, a track in Staffordshire that clearly suits this horse down to the ground. Two wins from 5 races there might not sound dramatic, but a 40% win rate at a specific course tells you something real — some horses simply click with a track's shape, its bends, its terrain — and Uttoxeter seems to bring out something extra. The first career win came there on 17 December 2021, so there is history between horse and venue.

Regular jockey Stan Sheppard has been a big part of the story too. In 12 races together, they have won 4 times — that is 1 win in every 3 rides, which is an excellent return and suggests a genuine partnership built on familiarity. The most recent win came at Market Rasen on 1 February 2026, just 8 weeks ago, so this is not a horse living off past glories.

The recent form reads 4-dash-dash-1-4-4-4 — one win sandwiched between some midfield finishes and a couple of missing results. It is not a horse in the form of its life, but the win is recent, the trainer is in form, and at 10 years old, Immortal Fame clearly has no intention of going quietly.
