Marisitta

That win on 27 June 2026 was her first, and it came at a track that will now mean something to her record forever. It also arrived in decent recent form — her last six runs read 4-7-5-6-1-5 (most recent last), showing a horse who had been knocking around mid-field before finally breaking through. Whether that Chepstow win represents a turning point or a one-off peak is the question anyone watching her next will be asking.

The most intriguing subplot in her story is the partnership with jockey William Carson. He's ridden her 10 times — 10 races, zero wins — making him the most experienced passenger on a horse who, until recently, simply hadn't delivered. That Chepstow breakthrough didn't come with Carson aboard, which adds a layer of curiosity to whatever comes next. John O'Shea's yard at Newham-on-Severn has sent out 6 winners this season, so it's an active, functioning operation — not a stable in crisis — which makes Marisitta's long winless run feel more like a puzzle with the horse herself than any wider problem.

She has raced 18 times at the lowest level of British racing, Class 6, without winning once. That's the tier where horses go to find opportunities, and even there she found none — until Chepstow changed the story. She raced just one day ago, so she's in the thick of a busy campaign right now. The real test is whether that first win has unlocked something, or whether it was simply the right race at the right moment.
