Pooroldmackley

The horse's last win came at Worcester on 31 August 2025, meaning it has now gone thirteen months without another victory. Recent form tells the story: across the last six races, there are two second-place finishes, two fourths, a seventh, and a blank. Miss Eleanor Williams, its most regular jockey, has won once from seven rides aboard, a win rate of 14%. The trainer, Mrs C. Williams, based at Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan, operates a small yard that has sent out three winners this season — modest numbers that suggest limited opportunities.

Pooroldmackley was a debut winner at Newton Abbot in April 2025, a promising start that has not quite led anywhere. For a seven-year-old still competing but without a win in over a year, the horse appears to have settled into a role as a useful lower-level performer: capable on its day, but increasingly difficult to win with. It raced just yesterday, so the yard clearly sees something worth running for, but the trend is not encouraging. This is a horse that might pick off another Class 5 race if things fall right, but the longer drought continues, the harder any comeback looks.
