Major Fortune
Eight years old and unbeaten — Major Fortune has made exactly one appearance in its career, and it went perfectly. Racing at Haydock Park just this week, on 4th April 2026, the horse won first time out and has never finished anywhere but the top two. A 100% record sounds impressive until you realise it's built on a single race, but that's not a knock — plenty of horses take years to get off the mark, and Major Fortune did it at the first attempt.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What gives that debut win a little extra weight is the team behind it. Trainer Dan Skelton, based in Alcester, Warwickshire, has sent out 185 winners already this season — a number that puts his yard among the most productive operations in the country. When a yard is firing at that rate, they tend to know when a horse is ready to run, and they rarely waste a trip. The fact that they targeted Haydock Park and came home with the win suggests Major Fortune had shown something at home worth believing in.
At eight years old, this is not a young horse finding its feet — it arrives with some maturity behind it, which may explain the confidence of that first-time-out win. Whether Major Fortune can back it up is the question everyone will be watching.
