That one career win came at Tipperary in May 2024, now more than two years ago, and he has not managed to repeat it across his last six races — finishing as far back as 18th in one of those outings, which suggests the level or conditions haven't always suited. His most recent form reads 3-9-9-18-15-2, so the picture is mixed: there are glimpses of promise (that second-place finish being the most obvious) but nothing consistent enough to suggest a winner is imminent. He raced just yesterday, so he is very much in active service.
His regular partnership with jockey Luke McAteer has produced one win from 13 races together — a win rate of around 8%, or roughly one in thirteen — which is modest but not unusual for a horse operating at this level. What is trickier to overlook is his record in Class 1 races, the top tier of the sport: three attempts, zero wins. The best races have so far proved a step too far.
Geoffrey Harker trains Sir Yoshi from a yard in Thirkleby, North Yorkshire, and has sent out five winners this season, so the operation is in decent nick. Whether Sir Yoshi can add to that tally remains the question. He is a horse who clearly tries, clearly competes, and occasionally threatens — but his sole career win now feels like a long time ago.
