Wolverhampton has become something of a home track. Two of Kakirra's three career wins have come there, from five visits in total, and the most recent was only on 2 June 2026 — days ago. When a horse keeps coming back to the same track and keeps winning, it is rarely a coincidence. Some horses simply suit a particular surface or the shape of a circuit, and Kakirra appears to have found its happy place on the artificial surface at Wolverhampton.
Behind all of this is trainer Ollie Sangster, based out of Marlborough in Wiltshire. The yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 42 winners, which tells you this is not a stable coasting along — it is one that knows how to get horses to perform. Kakirra looks like one of its better stories right now.
The sequence of recent results — finishing fourth, fourth, and seventh before reeling off three consecutive wins — is the kind of form reversal that gets people paying attention. Whether Kakirra can extend the streak to four is the question everyone around the yard will be asking. What is already clear is that this is a three-year-old right in the middle of its best form, trained by people who are firing on all cylinders, and with a course it genuinely seems to love just down the motorway.
