Penfolds Grange
Penfolds Grange has been a frustrating horse to follow—one win in 19 races tells you everything you need to know about a horse that simply hasn't delivered. That sole victory came back in November 2024 at Wolverhampton, and since then nothing. The 4-year-old has managed just three placings in its last six races, most recently finishing third, but it's the long drought that defines this horse's career: nearly two years without a win.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Mark Pattinson's Epsom yard has found more success elsewhere this season, and it's not hard to see why Penfolds Grange hasn't been the focus. The horse wins roughly 1 in every 20 races overall, and when it steps up to Class 5 company—one level up from its usual grade—it hasn't won at all (0 from 6). This is a horse that flatters to deceive. It does best at distances between 1m1f and 1m2f, but even there the record is modest: 1 win from 11 races, about 9 percent. That one win at Wolverhampton looks increasingly like an outlier rather than a sign of things to come. With that kind of recent form, Penfolds Grange would need something to click very quickly to justify the time and expense being spent on it.
