Madman

That one win came at Kempton Park back in January 2026, and it remains the high point of Madman's career to date. Six months on, the horse is still racing — it ran just yesterday — but has not managed to repeat that winning feeling across its last six outings. Recent form reads 6-2-9-6-5-2: a mix of near-misses and disappointing runs, though a pair of second-place finishes shows the horse can still compete at its level when things go right.

Madman typically races at Class 6, which is the entry level of British racing — these are races designed for horses that are learning their trade or simply find the higher grades too tough. Even at that level, the record of one win from eight races (12%, or just over 1 in 8) tells you this is a horse working hard for its rewards. That said, Class 6 winners are still winners, and Kempton Park in January proved Madman is capable of it.

The horse is trained by Rachel Cook and John Bridger, a yard based in Liphook, Hampshire, that has sent out seven winners this season — so they clearly know how to get a horse ready to perform. Regular jockey Alec Voikhansky has ridden Madman in six of its races, winning once together. That works out to roughly 1 win in every 6 rides — modest, but not without hope. The partnership is still developing, and with Madman only three years old, there is time yet for things to click.
