Shafi

The one win came at Southwell on 30 October 2025, and at the level Shafi typically competes at, the horse has won 1 from 3 races — roughly one in three, which is a solid return. Recent form reads 5-3-–-1-3, showing a winner sandwiched between placed efforts, which paints the picture of a horse that is rarely far from the action.

Shafi is trained by James Tate, whose yard at Newmarket has sent out 50 winners this season alone. Newmarket is the heartland of British flat racing, and a trainer operating at that volume knows how to place a horse to its best advantage. For a young horse still finding its feet, being in experienced hands like these matters enormously.
