Police Academy

The most interesting thread running through Police Academy's record is what happens at Uttoxeter. Two wins from just 4 races at that track is genuinely impressive — winning half your races anywhere is rare, and doing it at a specific course suggests the place suits this horse in some way, whether that's the shape of the track, the typical field sizes, or simply familiarity. The first career win came there in July 2023, and the most recent win came there too, in June 2025 — so Uttoxeter has bookended the highlights of this horse's record.

That partnership with Mr Ben Sutton is another real talking point. In 15 races together they've won 4 times, a win rate of 27% — roughly 1 in every 4 rides. For context, Police Academy wins just 1 in every 6 races overall, so the combination with Sutton clearly brings something extra out of the horse. When those two line up together, you pay attention.

Normal ground conditions — not too wet, not too dry — clearly bring out the best in Police Academy. Three wins from 10 races on standard ground (30%, or almost 1 in 3) is the standout figure in the whole profile. Compare that to 2 wins from 17 races at Class 4 level (just 12%), and you start to understand that conditions matter more to this horse than the quality of the opposition.

Trained by Kelly Morgan out of Withcote in Leicestershire, Police Academy raced just one day ago, so this is a horse firmly in training and active. Morgan's yard has sent out 1 winner this season, which is modest, but Police Academy clearly carries the flag. The recent form shows a win followed by a second place in the last two completed runs — form that suggests this nine-year-old still has races to win, particularly if the yard can get back to Uttoxeter on decent ground with Sutton in the saddle.
