Jodhpur Blue

Jodhpur Blue has spent the best part of two years chasing a second win. The five-year-old broke through at Newcastle back in October 2024, but that single victory from 24 races tells you everything about where this horse sits in the pecking order. With a win rate of just 1 in 25, Jodhpur Blue is a reliable finisher—12 of those 24 races have ended in a top-3 finish—but a winner it is not.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Trained by Ian Williams at Portway in Worcestershire, Jodhpur Blue competes most often at Class 4 level, where it has managed 0 wins from 10 attempts. The sweet spot appears to be distances between 7 furlongs and a mile, where it has won 1 of 8 races, but even that modest record hasn't translated into recent success. Over the last six races, the pattern is grimly consistent: a second, a sixth, a third, a fifth, a second, and another sixth. Charles Bishop has been the regular jockey, but the two have never combined for a win in five rides together.

What's striking is how active Jodhpur Blue remains. It raced just yesterday, which means the yard hasn't given up on finding a race it can win. At five years old with a single victory to its name, this horse exists in that familiar middle ground of racing—too good to ignore completely, not good enough to do anything special. For now, a patient trainer and a game little horse keep looking for the next opportunity.
