Musical Touch

That York victory on 13 June 2026 is worth pausing on. York is one of the most prestigious tracks in Britain — a place where the best horses in training regularly appear — so winning there is a genuine feather in the cap for any horse. It sits alongside Musical Touch's first career win at Wolverhampton back in October 2024, a result that announced this horse as one capable of getting the job done when conditions are right. And conditions matter here: on normal ground, Musical Touch has won 2 of its 6 attempts (33%), a noticeably better return than its overall record suggests.

The one puzzle in the profile is its record at Class 4 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing where most horses of this type do the bulk of their competing. Across 6 races at that level, Musical Touch has yet to win, which makes the York result all the more interesting if it came at a higher grade. The Fahey yard has been in good nick this season, sending out 23 winners, so the horse is clearly in a good environment to keep improving.

Jockey Oisin Orr has been the key partner, riding Musical Touch to 2 wins from just 5 races together — a win rate of 40%, which is an outstanding return by any measure and suggests a real combination that suits the horse. With the horse having raced just yesterday and still clearly in form, there is every reason to think Musical Touch has more to give this season.
