Shaw Park
Shaw Park is a seven-year-old who has been racing for nearly two years without finding the winner's circle, but the numbers suggest he is not a lost cause. Since his breakthrough victory at Brighton in June 2024, he has won five races in total — a modest return from 48 outings, which works out to one win in every ten races. The real story, though, is what has happened recently. His last win came at Great Yarmouth on 14 May 2025, and since then he has raced six times without breaking through, though he has finished in the top 3 on three of those occasions. He was out just a day ago, so the yard are keeping him active and looking for another opportunity.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out about Shaw Park is his clear preference for fast, dry ground. On such conditions, he wins 4 out of every 10 races — a 40 percent win rate that is genuinely competitive and nearly four times better than his overall record. Trained by Scott Dixon at Rolleston in Nottinghamshire, Shaw Park typically races in Class 5 company, where he has won 2 of his 21 starts. The yard itself is in decent form this season with 33 winners to its name. The puzzle is his record with regular jockey Dale Swift, who has ridden him 15 times without a single victory. A change of rider, or a return to the sort of firm going where Shaw Park genuinely thrives, might be exactly what is needed to end this long drought and remind everyone why he won five races in the first place.
