Our Guide

There are horses that drift in and out of form, and then there are horses like Our Guide, which seem to have found a gear that simply doesn't switch off. The five-year-old has won 4 of its last 6 races — that's a win rate of 67%, or two wins for every three times it steps onto a track — and the recent form line of 2-1-1-1-5-1 tells the story of a horse firmly in the form of its life. Only one blip in six outings, and everything else has been a podium finish.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Our Guide got its first taste of winning at Galway in October 2025, and something seems to have clicked since that day. The horse has barely looked back, with its most recent victory coming at Worcester on 17 June 2026 — just three weeks ago — and it ran again only yesterday, showing the kind of robustness and consistency that trainers dream about. Some horses need weeks of recovery and careful handling between runs; this one just keeps turning up and performing.

Behind the horse is Jamie Snowden's yard at Lambourn in Berkshire, one of British racing's most storied training villages. Snowden's team have sent out 82 winners already this season, which is a remarkable output and puts them firmly in the conversation as one of the busier, more successful operations in the country. A yard firing at that rate gives a horse every possible advantage — the preparation, the entries, the experience of placing a horse in the right race at the right time.

With a record of 4 wins and 5 places from just 6 races, Our Guide has finished in the top three in every single outing bar one. For a horse still only five years old, that combination of consistency and a high win rate suggests there may be more to come. The question now is whether Snowden's team will push into stronger company or continue to find races where Our Guide can dominate. Either way, this is a horse worth keeping an eye on.
