Macari

Macari is a six-year-old with a knack for Newbury that stands out from the rest of its form. Over a career spanning 41 races, it has won 6 times and been placed in another 16, a respectable but unspectacular 15% win rate. The real story, though, is what happens when this horse lines up at Newbury: it has won 2 of just 3 races there, a win rate of roughly two-thirds that feels almost out of character with its elsewhere record. That dominant form at the Berkshire track culminated in a win on 24 October 2025, over eleven months ago now.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Trainer Sheena West, based at Lewes in West Sussex, has given Macari consistent opportunities, and the horse has repaid that faith most reliably in lower-level races — it wins roughly 1 in every 5 contests at Class 5 level (3 wins from 16 races). Marc Goldstein has been its regular pilot, though his partnership with the horse is more functional than compelling: two wins from 14 rides together amounts to a 14% return, not markedly better than Macari's overall average. The horse turned out its first career win at Plumpton on 1 April 2024, and has since added five more victories, though drought is now a question worth asking. It has not won in its last six races, with recent efforts yielding a 9th, two 8ths, a 6th, and a 2nd — glimpses of ability mixed with long spells of nothing much. It raced just a day ago, so Macari remains an active proposition, still hunting for that next success.
