Izzy Fast

That sole win came at Great Yarmouth on 28 April 2026, and it was no fluke. Over the shorter distances — between five and six-and-a-half furlongs — Izzy Fast has won 1 from 3 races, which works out to winning roughly 1 in every 3 outings at that trip. For context, that's a significantly better return than the overall career record suggests, and it points clearly to where this horse is most dangerous: quick, sharp races where speed off the mark matters most.

The recent run of form reads 5-2-7-9-1-5 going back through the last six races, and it's a bumpy chart. The ninth and seventh places look like the horse was struggling, but that second place shows it can mix it near the top, and the win in the middle of that sequence is a reminder not to write it off. Racing is rarely a straight line.

Izzy Fast is trained by Philip McBride at Newmarket, which is about as serious an address as British racing has to offer — the town is home to some of the sport's most established yards, and competition for stable resources is fierce. McBride's operation has sent out 12 winners already this season, which shows a yard in decent working order. Having raced just one day ago, Izzy Fast is clearly a horse being kept busy and in a rhythm, which trainers often do when they believe a horse is in a good place physically.

The win at Great Yarmouth came three months ago now, and turning that one moment of brilliance into something more consistent is the next challenge. But with a clear preference for shorter, sharper races and a trainer who is hitting winners regularly, there is a reasonable case that Izzy Fast is a horse worth watching when conditions and distance line up just right.
