Midnight Call

Across its whole career, the horse has won 6 races from 18, which works out at roughly 1 in every 3 — a 33% win rate that most horses at this level would envy. It has also placed (finished second or third) on 10 further occasions, meaning it has come away with something to show for 16 of its 18 outings. That kind of consistency is what keeps a horse racing and keeps a yard interested. Tony Carroll's team have had a productive season — 136 winners sent out this year alone — and Midnight Call has played its part in that tally.

The jockey most associated with this horse is Matthew Lloyd Slater, who has partnered it in 9 of its 18 races and won 2 of them — roughly 1 in every 4.5 rides together, or a 22% win rate. That is a solid working relationship rather than a magic partnership, but familiarity with a quirky horse counts for a lot.

Midnight Call races most comfortably at Class 6, the entry level of British racing, where it has won 4 from 9 — winning nearly half its races at that grade. That tells you where the horse is most at home, but a career total across 18 races still represents a genuine level of consistency. The most recent win came at Wolverhampton just three weeks ago, on 18 May 2026, and the horse raced again just yesterday, suggesting the team are keeping it busy while it is in form. Recent results show two wins in the last six races, with a tenth-place finish the only real blip. Midnight Call is not the kind of horse to fill the back pages, but for anyone who follows the sport closely, a horse that wins half its races at one track — and keeps coming back for more — is exactly the kind of story worth watching.
