New Image
New Image is a horse that has clearly seen better days. The six-year-old won a Class 2 race at Ascot back in August 2024—one of the top races in Britain—but it is now nearly two years since that peak moment. His overall record tells the story of a solid, if unremarkable, career: 4 wins from 22 races, which means he wins roughly once every five or six outings. He has picked up 9 places to go with those wins, so he is competitive enough, but the wins have dried up completely over his last six races.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What makes New Image interesting is how dramatically he changes depending on where he races. At Southwell, he is practically a specialist: two wins from just three races there, a 67% win rate that is genuinely remarkable. On normal ground conditions, he also thrives—winning 2 of 5 races, or 40%—which suggests he prefers firm, standard going rather than muddy or fast ground. At Class 2 level, though, he struggles: just 1 win from 6 races, or 17%, which shows he is more at home in slightly lower-level contests. His trainer, Michael Herrington, based near Lincoln, recently put him back to work after a break, running him over seven furlongs at Musselburgh to "get the gas out of him" before pointing him at races like the Victoria Cup and potentially Ascot's stiff mile. New Image is the sort of horse that wins when conditions and the track align in his favour, but he has become a waiting game rather than a reliable performer.
