Impecunious

The two wins are worth noting for where they came. The first arrived at Chepstow in April 2025, and then a few months later Impecunious returned to winning ways at Newton Abbot in July 2025. Newton Abbot is a tight, turning track in the heart of Devon — not unlike the kind of course a horse needs to be nimble and street-smart to handle well. That win came just over 11 months ago now, and Impecunious has been busy since, finishing third, second, fourth, first, fourth, and eighth in its last six outings — reading those results in order, there is a horse that was improving sharply through the middle of that sequence before finding things a bit tougher lately.

Most of Impecunious's racing has come at Class 5 level, which sits in the lower-to-middle tier of British racing — the kind of races where every horse in the field is genuinely trying to win rather than gaining experience. At that level, Impecunious has won 1 from 7 races, a 14% win rate, which is broadly in line with its overall record. Bryan Carver has ridden it in 10 of its 15 races, winning once together — 1 win from 10 rides is a modest return, but the pair have clearly built up a working partnership over time.

The horse is trained by I Chanin out of a small yard based in Tiverton, Devon — not one of the big powerful operations, but a trainer who has sent out 2 winners already this season. Crucially, Impecunious raced just yesterday, meaning it is very much in active training and being campaigned with intent. For a yard of this size, keeping a horse this busy and competitive is an achievement in itself. Whether another win is around the corner is anyone's guess, but this is a horse that clearly has the appetite to keep trying.
