Nad Alshiba Green

What's most interesting about Nad Alshiba Green is its preference for normal ground conditions. On that going, the record is genuinely impressive: 3 wins from just 6 races means it wins roughly half the time on normal ground. That's a significant edge, and it explains why the horse has been kept in training despite the long absence from the winner's enclosure. The horse also performs noticeably better in Class 4 races — the lower tier of competition — where it has won 2 of 5 races (40%), compared to a much tighter win rate overall. This suggests that stepping up in class or hitting the wrong ground conditions has played a role in the recent struggles.

Trained by Clive Cox at Lambourn, a yard that has already sent out 48 winners this season, Nad Alshiba Green remains actively raced and was last seen just a day ago. Whether the next outing brings a return to winning form likely depends on two things: the ground staying normal, and a Class 4 opportunity. Without both, the pattern of the last 14 months suggests the horse will struggle to break its losing streak.
