Khuskhas

That win came at Great Yarmouth on 27 June 2025, over the short, sharp distances that suit Khuskhas best. At 5 to 6 and a half furlongs, it has won 1 from 3 races — a 33% win rate, which is genuinely strong. That tells you something useful: when the conditions are right and the trip is in its wheelhouse, this horse is competitive. The problem is that recent form has been patchy. Reading the last six results from most recent to oldest — 5th, 13th, 7th, 6th, 1st, 9th — you can see the Yarmouth win sitting in the middle of a run of uninspiring finishes either side of it. A 13th is a tough result at any level, and it suggests Khuskhas has not yet built on the momentum of that breakthrough.

The horse runs mainly at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing — competitive enough, but not the top tier. At that level it has won 1 from 5, or 20% of the time, which is a perfectly respectable return. Trainer James Ferguson operates out of Newmarket, one of the most important racing towns in Britain, and his yard has been in solid form this season with 28 winners already on the board. That kind of operation knows how to place a horse to its best advantage, so it will be interesting to see where Khuskhas lines up next as the team tries to find a race that brings out the best in it.

Still only 3 years old and active just one day ago, Khuskhas is very much a horse in progress. The talent is there — that Yarmouth win proved it — but the consistency is not yet. Whether it can put together a run of results to match that best day is the story still being written.
