Scarface

The headline achievement on his record is a Class 1 win at Sandown Park in March 2024 — a top-tier race at one of the most prestigious tracks in the country. Horses who win at that level are genuinely good, and Scarface proved it. He backed that up just weeks later with another win at Plumpton in April 2024, showing that a big-occasion win had not taken the edge off him.

Plumpton is where Scarface has built something close to a personal fiefdom. Three wins from just 5 races there — that is a 60% win rate at a single track, which is extraordinary in a sport where winning once in five tries is considered a fine return. Some horses simply suit a particular course, its bends, its gradients, the way the ground sits. Whatever it is about Plumpton, Scarface has the answer.

His regular partner in the saddle, Brendan Powell, has been aboard for 31 of his 37 races — an unusually consistent partnership — and has ridden 4 of his 7 wins. Trained by Joe Tizzard at his Milborne Port yard in Dorset, a team that has sent out 54 winners this season alone, Scarface is in capable hands. Tizzard is a trainer who knows how to place a horse well, and the evidence is in the record.

Most tellingly, Scarface raced just one day ago and won — this week, at Newton Abbot, on 4 April 2026. His recent form reads 1-3-5-2, which tells the story of a horse running consistently at a high level and not fading with age. At nine, some horses are winding down. Scarface appears to be doing the opposite.
