Ground conditions matter to My Ambition more than they do to many horses. On normal ground it has won 2 of 8 races (a 25% win rate), but on very dry, fast ground it has actually performed better, winning 2 of 7 races (29% win rate). This preference for firmer conditions is useful information for those watching its future entries. The horse typically competes at Class 6, where it has won 4 of 18 races (22% win rate), proving itself genuinely capable at that level. Trainer Denis Coakley, based at West Ilsley in Berkshire, has sent out 10 winners this season and will be hoping to spark a revival.
One oddity stands out: My Ambition has raced eight times under jockey George Bass without a single victory. Whether that represents simple bad luck, a mismatch between horse and rider, or something else entirely is impossible to say from the numbers alone. What is clear is that My Ambition remains active and available for racing, though the 11-month gap since its last win suggests either injury, inconsistency, or a genuine loss of form. At seven years old, it is entering the later stages of its career, so any resurgence would come at a critical moment.
