Maximising
Maximising has found real form at exactly the right time. A four-year-old with a career record of 3 wins from 12 races, the horse has won twice in the last six outings—including a success at Haydock Park just this week on 16 October. That recent victory matters, because Maximising had gone quiet for a while. The gaps in the record show a race missing, suggesting time away, but the horse is clearly back and firing.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The win rate across a full career sits at roughly 1 in 4 races, which is respectable, but the recent form tells a better story. Over the last six runs, Maximising has finished in the top 3 four times—a run that shows genuine consistency and suggests the horse is getting stronger. Kevin Philippart de Foy's Newmarket yard, which has already saddled 40 winners this season, clearly has the horse in the right shape. At Class 5 level, where Maximising typically races, the 20% win rate (1 win from 5 attempts) is nothing spectacular, but the upward trend—two wins in the last six races instead of one in five—suggests the horse is improving and finding its mark.
