Sands Of Josepi

That sole win came at Southwell on 20 November 2025, and the track clearly suited. At Class 5 level — the entry-level tier of British racing — Sands Of Josepi has actually been fairly consistent, winning 1 from 3 races at that grade, which works out to 1 in 3. That's a decent return and suggests the horse is competitive when the conditions are right, even if results elsewhere have been harder to come by. The recent sequence of 9-6-4-1-7-4 tells its own story: a win tucked in there, but surrounded by some mid-pack finishes that show there's still improvement needed for things to click more regularly.

The trainer is Brian Ellison, whose yard in Norton, North Yorkshire has sent out 43 winners this season alone — a serious operation that clearly knows how to place a horse to its best advantage. That experience matters for a young horse still learning its trade, and with Ellison in charge there's every reason to think Sands Of Josepi will be pointed at the right opportunities as it develops through its three-year-old season.
