Lequinto

What makes Lequinto genuinely interesting is his extraordinary record at Windsor. He has won 8 of his 21 races at that course — a 38% win rate that marks him out as a clear course specialist. Last win came there on 29 June 2026, three months ago, which suggests he still has plenty to offer when conditions and the race type suit him. He also loves dry ground, winning 7 of his last 16 races on fast, firm surfaces — a 44% win rate that shows he performs at his best when the ground is quick. This preference and his Windsor form paint the picture of a horse that thrives when everything lines up: a familiar track, a quick surface, and a suitable race.

Matthew Lloyd Slater has ridden him 12 times and won on 4 of those occasions — a 33% win rate that is notably stronger than his overall record, suggesting the partnership works well. Trainer Tony Carroll, based at Cropthorne in Worcestershire, runs a yard in excellent form this season with 136 winners already sent out. Carroll has recently noted that Lequinto can be inconsistent. After a disappointing last-place finish in a recent Sprint Series race at Windsor, the trainer suggested he needed time to find the right spot again. That kind of inconsistency — the runs where he simply doesn't turn up — explains why his overall win rate sits at a modest 15% despite his obvious ability. When Lequinto clicks, he is a genuine racehorse. When he doesn't, he can run flat.
