My Champion

That one win came at Wolverhampton on 6 January 2026, and it remains the standout moment of the career so far. It arrived at a distance of around a mile to a mile and a quarter — and that range does appear to suit My Champion best. In four races over those trips, the horse has won once, a 25% win rate, or 1 in every 4. Compare that to the horse's record at the level it most often competes at — Class 5, which is the entry level of professional racing — where it has run four times without winning, and a picture begins to emerge: My Champion may simply need everything to fall right, and the right trip helps considerably.

Recent form has been harder to read. The last six runs show a sequence of finishing fifth, fifth, fifth, fourth, fifth, and then blank — with that win back in January the last time the horse reached the front. Trainer Harriet Dickin, based in Somerset, has sent out three winners this season from her yard, so the operation is ticking over. My Champion raced just one day ago, meaning this is a horse in active training and presumably heading somewhere shortly. Whether a return to Wolverhampton — the scene of that career highlight — is on the agenda remains to be seen, but on the evidence so far, it would not be a bad place to start looking.
