Ski Angel

Trained by R. Mike Smith at his Galston yard in East Ayrshire, Ski Angel runs most consistently in lower-grade races, winning 6 of her 32 starts at that level — a 19 percent win rate that shows she is genuinely competitive where she belongs. The ground matters to her. She loves the wet: winning 2 of her 5 races on sodden turf represents a 40 percent win rate, suggesting she relishes conditions that suit her stride. On slightly soft ground, she has managed 2 wins from 11 races. The faster the surface, the less likely she is to finish first. Her most recent outing was just a day ago, keeping her active on the circuit, though a glance at her last six races tells a story of modest results — a second, another second, and four runs outside the frame. It has been 13 months since her last win, which came at Musselburgh in October 2025. Jockey Joe Fanning has ridden her six times, winning once, suggesting a professional partnership if not a sparkling one. At her current rating, the yard see her as a horse with potential to climb a few more pounds if the conditions and company align, but for now she remains a battler in the trenches of Scottish racing.
