Show Biz Kid

The Newmarket-based training partnership of Julia and Shelley Birkett has had a productive season, sending out 15 winners, and Show Biz Kid has contributed to that tally twice. His most recent win came at Bath just seven weeks ago, on 26 May 2026, and he is clearly in the thick of an active campaign — he raced as recently as yesterday. That kind of busy schedule suggests the team believe he is in good form and worth keeping busy.

The most revealing number in his record is at a distance of one mile and three furlongs to one mile and four furlongs. Over those trips, he has won 2 races from 13 attempts — a 15% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 6 or 7 races at his preferred distance. That is nearly double his overall win rate, which tells you he genuinely needs that extra mile and a bit to express himself. Shorten him up and you're probably wasting your time.

His recent form reads 3-5-1-4-6-7, which, read backwards, shows a horse who was struggling six and seven runs ago but has clearly turned a corner. That "1" — a win — sits right in the middle of the sequence, and his two third and fifth-place finishes since then suggest he is still in decent nick rather than just having had a one-off good day.

Jockey Dylan Hogan has been on board for six of Show Biz Kid's races and has ridden him to 1 win — a win rate of 17%, or roughly 1 in every 6 times they've partnered. That is well above the horse's overall average, which suggests the pairing works. Most of Show Biz Kid's races have come at Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter, everyday end of the sport — which is exactly where a horse like this belongs and, on his best days, can make his mark.
