Kakirra

What makes Kakirra particularly interesting is where those wins are coming from. At distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles — the longer end of the spectrum — this horse has won all three races it has entered. Three from three, a perfect record. That tells you something important: Kakirra is not just on a lucky run. It is a horse that has found its ideal conditions and is thriving in them. Longer distances suit it, and once the yard — sorry, once the yard at Marlborough figured that out, the results followed immediately.

Kakirra had its first career win at Wolverhampton back in May 2026, and has since gone back there to win again, building a record of two wins from five visits at that track. Two from five might not sound electric, but for a horse that has only raced eight times total, spending five of those at a single venue and winning two of them shows a real familiarity with the place. Wolverhampton was where the story started; Newbury, just days ago, is where it currently stands.

Behind all of this is trainer Ollie Sangster, operating out of Marlborough in Wiltshire. With 46 winners sent out already this season, this is clearly a yard in fine form — and Kakirra looks like one of its more exciting projects. A three-year-old who has only just found its rhythm, racing at the top of its game right now, is exactly the kind of horse that gets people leaning forward. The four results before this streak — a fourth place and a seventh — now look like a horse still searching for the right trip and the right opportunity. It found both, and has not looked back since.
