Macanudo
Macanudo is a five-year-old who has found modest success on the track, winning 3 of his 33 races for a win rate of around 1 in every 11 attempts. He races for trainer
Ian Williams, who runs a sizeable operation from Portway in Worcestershire and has sent out 96 winners this season alone. The horse clearly suits some conditions better than others: on normal ground he wins roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 races, but step him up into the highest amateur races and he struggles — he has never won from 10 attempts at that level.

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His last victory came just two weeks ago at Bath, and he raced again only yesterday, so he is an active, consistent campaigner. Most interestingly, his recent form shows genuine improvement. Over his last six races he has won twice, placed three times, and had only one poor run. When regular jockey Ryan Kavanagh rides him — which has happened nine times — the results have been disappointing, with no wins between them, suggesting the partnership simply hasn't clicked. A different rider or a change of scenery could unlock more from this horse. At five years old, Macanudo is still learning the game and appears to be finding his level as a dependable competitor, particularly on the right terrain.
