Kitaro Kich
Kitaro Kich broke through as a five-year-old at Wolverhampton in late January 2025, and has since added four more wins to his record — but that last victory came way back in October of that same year at Kempton Park. Since then, across 12 races over the past twelve months, the six-year-old has failed to find the winner's circle, though he has picked up a top-3 finish (4th place last time out, one race ago). That kind of dry spell, especially at this stage of his career, suggests he may be reaching the level where wins are harder to come by, even if he remains capable of the occasional competitive run.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is his record with Neil Callan in the saddle. The jockey has steered him to 4 wins from 16 races together — a 25% win rate — which is sharply better than his overall form. That partnership is clearly worth monitoring, because the chemistry is real. He races best on normal ground, where he has won 3 of his 10 races (30%), and he seems suited to middle distances around seven furlongs to a mile, with 3 wins from 11 attempts at that trip (27%). Trained by George Baker's Epsom Downs yard, which has had a decent season with 14 winners, Kitaro Kich appears to be a horse who can still win races if the conditions and setup align — ground that isn't holding, a sensible trip, and preferably Callan aboard — but those opportunities are becoming fewer and farther between.
