Prince Quattro

He tends to run in what are effectively the bread-and-butter races of the calendar — the mid-to-lower tier events that make up the backbone of a busy season — and has won 2 of his 16 races at that level, a 12% rate. Those aren't flashy numbers, but they paint a picture of a horse who turns up, does his job, and occasionally delivers. His recent form makes for interesting reading: in his last six races he has posted a third, a first, a fourth, a second, another fourth, and another fourth. The win and the place sandwiched around it suggest he is in decent nick right now, not just making up the numbers.

That most recent win came at Newmarket just three weeks ago — 26 June 2026 — which is about as timely as it gets. Newmarket is one of the great flat racing venues in Britain, and winning there is never something to take lightly. It also rounds out a career that began with a first win at Limerick in November 2024, suggesting he has travelled well and handled different tracks along the way.

He is trained by James Owen, whose yard at Newmarket has sent out an impressive 205 winners this season alone — that is the kind of operation that knows what it is doing and keeps horses in good enough shape to win races. One slightly curious subplot is that his most regular jockey, James O'Sullivan, has yet to win together with Prince Quattro in seven attempts. That's not necessarily a problem — partnerships can take time — but whoever climbs aboard next will be very aware that the horse knows how to win, because he proved it just weeks ago.
