Sherminator

The recent form is what really catches the eye. Four wins from the last six races, with the symbol for a fall or unseated rider punctuating the sequence twice rather than a string of honest but empty efforts — this is a horse that, when it completes the course, tends to win it. The latest victory came at Exeter on 6 March 2026, roughly four weeks ago, so Sherminator arrives at its next race in form and with confidence. It all started at Newbury in January 2025, where it broke its duck for the first time, and the horse has barely looked back since.

Much of that success has been built at Class 4 level — one step below the top tier, but still competitive, professional racing. Three wins from four races at that level, a win rate of 75%, tells you Sherminator genuinely belongs there. It is not scraping through on luck; it is winning three in every four times it steps out at that grade. That is the kind of consistency that makes trainers and jockeys look forward to race day.

The partnership with jockey Bryan Carver looks like a significant part of the story. Three wins from five rides together — winning 3 in every 5 times they team up — is the sort of combination you want to keep intact. Carver seems to understand what Sherminator needs, and the horse responds. They have built something that works.

Behind all of this is trainer Harry Fry, operating out of Corscombe in Dorset. Fry's yard has sent out 25 winners already this season, which signals a stable that is healthy, busy, and firing. A horse like Sherminator — consistent, improving, and clearly well-placed in its races — fits the profile of exactly the kind of animal a yard in that kind of form produces. At five years old, there is every reason to think the best is still ahead.
