Lily Pearl
Lily Pearl has won just once in eight career races, but that sole victory came at exactly the right moment — 12 months ago at Pontefract, where she broke her duck in September 2025. Since then, the three-year-old has been a steady, if modest, performer, finishing in the money four times and accumulating a record that speaks to honest, consistent effort rather than brilliant talent. Her recent form tells the story: a second place, then a fifth, a ninth, a third, and a first, most recently a fourth just yesterday. She is not a horse lighting up racecourses, but she keeps turning up and trying.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Based at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire with trainers Richard and Peter Fahey, Lily Pearl runs from a yard that has enjoyed a productive season, with 23 winners sent out so far. That kind of operation knows how to get a horse ready, and the fact that she won on her last visit to Pontefract suggests the track suits her. Yet the 12-month gap between wins is telling — at this level of competition, a three-year-old is expected to strike more regularly. Lily Pearl wins roughly 1 in every 8 races she contests, a rate that marks her as a useful lower-grade performer rather than anything more. Still, she is active and racing regularly, and with youth still on her side, there remains time for her to find another winner.
