Lady Roxby

Her first win came at Musselburgh in September 2024, and she followed it up with a second at Beverley in July 2025. Those two tracks — one in Scotland, one on the Yorkshire coast — suggest she travels well and handles different conditions. The Beverley win is now eleven months old, though, and her last six runs have produced two seconds, a third, two sevenths, and a deeply disappointing twelfth on her most recent outing. That sequence tells its own story: she was threatening to break through again back in the spring, then something went flat.

The step up to Class 4 — one level above the races where she has found her wins — has not suited her yet. In four attempts at that level she has not won once. That 0 from 4 record suggests the competition is just a fraction too strong, and it may be that dropping back down is where her next win is hiding.

She is trained by Michael Herrington, a Lincolnshire-based trainer who has sent out 33 winners already this season — a yard clearly in form and knowing what it is doing. The fact that Lady Roxby raced just yesterday shows she is fit and active, and Herrington will be well aware of exactly where the gaps are in her profile. With a horse this consistent in placing, the frustration and the opportunity are the same: she already knows how to finish in the frame, so the win is not far away. It is just a question of finding the right day and the right race to finally convert.
