Kodi Fire

The most important number in Kodi Fire's record is 67%. On fast, dry ground, this horse has won 4 of its 6 races. That is a remarkable conversion rate — roughly two wins every three attempts when the sun has been out and the ground is firm underfoot. Swap those conditions for something softer and wetter, and the picture changes almost entirely. Charles Hills, who trains out of Lambourn in Berkshire, clearly knows this, and getting the right conditions appears to be central to how the yard manages this horse's career.

Distance matters too. At a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs, Kodi Fire has won 3 of 7 races — nearly 43%, or close to one in every two attempts at that trip. That is a sweet spot worth remembering. The horse opened its winning account at Brighton on 1 July 2025, and the most recent success came at Chepstow just this week — 16 July 2026 — so confidence in the camp will be high right now. Recent form reads 1-4-8-5-14-5, and while that eighth and fourteenth suggest there have been some flat days, the win at the top of that sequence is what matters most heading forward.

One thing worth noting is that Kodi Fire has spent most of its career in Class 5 races — broadly speaking, the bread-and-butter level of the sport — winning just 1 of 6 at that grade. The better wins appear to have come when the horse has been placed in races that suit it precisely, rather than just dropped into the easiest available company. Hills is a trainer with serious credentials — 29 winners already this season from his Lambourn yard — so there is a thoughtful hand on the wheel here. When the ground is quick and the trip is right, Kodi Fire is the kind of horse a knowledgeable friend would be quietly tipping you toward.
