Sir Paul Ramsey

There is a horse that has quietly figured something out at a mile and a bit — and it is worth paying attention to. Sir Paul Ramsey is a 4-year-old with two wins from 16 races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 8. That is not a headline number, but the detail behind it is more interesting than the headline suggests.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Both of those wins have come at distances between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, where he has won 2 of 9 races — about 1 in 4 — and both have come on normal ground. On any other surface he has yet to score, so when conditions are standard and the trip is in that middle-distance range, he becomes a different proposition. The record on normal ground reads two wins from just four attempts, which is a 50% win rate — that is the kind of number that makes a trainer keep coming back to the same conditions whenever they can.

He is trained by Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, part of one of Britain's most productive yards — 125 winners already this season, which tells you this is a professional operation that knows how to place a horse. His most regular partner in the saddle is Joe Fanning, and together they have a record that stands out: 2 wins from 8 races, which means Fanning has been aboard for every single win Sir Paul Ramsey has managed. That is not a coincidence — that is a partnership worth noting.

The most recent win came at Haydock Park on 9 August 2025, and in the six races since, he has not troubled the judge. A finishing sequence of 11th, 23rd, 9th, 3rd, 7th, and 4th tells a mixed story — there are signs of life in those placed efforts, particularly the third, but also one very bad day at the office. He has been trying his luck at Class 2 level — some of the better races on the British calendar — and has yet to win at that grade from five attempts. That is not a disgrace; it simply means he is competing against strong fields regularly, and a step back in grade could unlock another win.

He raced just yesterday, so the team are clearly keeping him busy. A 4-year-old, still learning, with a specific set of conditions he clearly prefers — there is more to come here if everything lines up right.
