Macari

The Newbury angle is genuinely striking. Macari has raced there just three times and won twice — that is a win rate of 67%, or two wins from three attempts. For context, most horses win fewer than 1 in 10 races at any given track, so going 2-from-3 at the same venue is not a fluke — it suggests the track genuinely suits this horse, whether the layout, the ground conditions, or simply the way the races tend to be run there. The most recent of those wins came at Newbury in October 2025, and it remains the last time Macari has made it to the winner's enclosure.

The horse typically competes in Class 5 company — the everyday, bread-and-butter level of British racing rather than the headline events — and has won 3 of its 16 races at that level, or roughly 1 in every 5. That 19% win rate in its most common class is a decent return. Jockey Marc Goldstein has been in the saddle for 14 of those 37 races and has ridden 2 of the 6 winners, a partnership that wins around 1 in every 7 times they go out together.

Recent form tells a more mixed story. The last six runs read 2-6-4-4-7-1, which means a win followed by a run of mid-pack and tail-end finishes before a second place most recently. That runner-up result, coming just yesterday, shows Macari is in the mix and running well enough to be competitive — it just has not rediscovered the winning thread since Newbury seven months ago. With Sheena West's yard already sending out eight winners this season and clearly in decent nick, it would be no surprise if Macari found its way back to the front end before long, particularly if the yard can get it back to Newbury.
