Midnight Jewel
Midnight Jewel has been quietly grinding away for nearly five years, and at ten years old this horse remains genuinely competitive—winning roughly 1 in every 3 races entered. That 29% win rate across 31 outings is the kind of consistency that keeps horses in training long after many have hung up their saddle. The horse showed early promise with its first win at Huntingdon back in October 2021, and has since notched up nine victories that speak to a genuine talent for the mid-tier Class 4 races where it typically runs. In those grades, Midnight Jewel wins even more often—nearly 1 in 3 races—suggesting it is pitched at roughly the right level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes this horse interesting is its partnership with jockey Lilly Pinchin, who has ridden it to seven wins from 22 races together, a 32% win rate that is notably better than its overall win rate. That kind of chemistry between horse and rider often matters more than raw numbers suggest. Just four weeks ago, Midnight Jewel won at Fontwell Park, which proves it still knows how to find the winner's circle. Charlie Longsdon's yard at Chipping Norton is having a solid season with 31 winners, and Midnight Jewel remains an active contributor—it was racing just yesterday.
Recent form has been patchy, with only one win in the last six races, but there is a curious bright spot: Midnight Jewel is a course specialist at Bangor-on-Dee, winning 2 of its 3 races there. That kind of track record at a single venue is worth remembering. For a horse this age and this durable, fresh legs and the right race setup can trigger another purple patch.
