Majestic
Majestic is a horse chasing ghosts. The eight-year-old won a Class 2 race at Newmarket in September 2022 and has been trying to replicate that moment ever since—without success. That was nearly four years ago. Since then, he has run 34 times, placed in 13 of them, won nothing, and accumulated enough near-misses to frustrate any owner. His last six races tell the story: 11th, 3rd, 10th, 2nd, 4th, 7th. He can still run well. He just cannot quite get over the line.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The curious thing about Majestic is that he has a clear edge when conditions suit him. Over the distance of a mile and one to a mile and two furlongs, where he clearly stays comfortably, he has won 2 of his 16 races—double his overall win rate of roughly 1 in every 18 starts. At those distances, he wins about 1 in 8 times, which is respectable form for a horse at his level. His trainer, Jack Channon at West Ilsley in Berkshire, has spoken of potentially trying him on the all-weather if the ground turns soft and heavy, suggesting there may still be angles to explore before the horse is retired. Majestic raced just a day ago, so he remains active, though his jockey of choice, George Bass, has yet to guide him to a winner in nine attempts together. With his recent form stuttering and nearly four years since his last victory, Majestic is now a horse defined more by promise than by the results that matter.
