Minella Jury

The wins came in a pleasing burst of form. Minella Jury broke its duck at Wexford in late October 2025, then backed that up with another victory at Uttoxeter in December — two wins from two within the space of about seven weeks. Look at the last six runs in order and you get: a second place, two wins, a third, and then two blanks most recently. So there has been a slight dip since that Uttoxeter win three months ago, but the foundation underneath is solid. This is a horse that won 2 of its last 6 races, or roughly 1 in every 3 — and across its whole career the numbers look even better, with a 29% win rate that works out at almost 1 win in every 3-and-a-half races.

At its typical level — Class 4, which is a solid mid-tier tier of British racing — Minella Jury has won 1 from 3 races, a 33% win rate, or 1 in 3. That is a respectable return, and it suggests the horse is well placed by its team. Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies run one of the more productive yards in the country right now, having sent out 57 winners already this season — so there is no shortage of know-how behind this horse, and they clearly have it pointed in the right direction.

Still only six years old and currently active — last seen on the track just 29 days ago — Minella Jury has time on its side. Seven races in, unplaced just twice, with a winning habit already established at two different tracks, this is a horse quietly building a record worth paying attention to.
