That sole victory came at Kempton Park on 7 January 2026, and it is the kind of result that matters. Kempton is a sharp, tight track where rhythm and tactical racing count for a lot, and getting a win there — even at Class 6, which is the bread-and-butter level of the sport — is a marker worth building on. Madman competes almost exclusively at that level, winning 1 from 8 races there, which works out to roughly 1 in every 8 attempts. Not spectacular, but not discouraging either for a three-year-old still learning the job.
The partnership with jockey Alec Voikhansky is worth watching. In five races together they have won once — a 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5 rides. That is a genuinely strong number, and comfortably better than the horse's overall record suggests. When this combination clicks, clearly something works. Tom Ward's yard is in decent nick too, having sent out 13 winners already this season, so the infrastructure and confidence are there to keep improving a young horse with this kind of profile. With the win still fresh and the form holding up, the next few months should tell us a lot.
