Slack Alice

What the record also reveals is where Slack Alice genuinely thrives: over longer distances of two miles or more, she has won 2 races from 11 attempts — an 18% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 6. That might not sound earth-shattering, but compare it to the blank record over shorter trips and the picture becomes clear. Give her room to gallop and she's a different horse. The first career win came at Market Rasen on 12 June 2026, which also happened to be over that kind of distance — and it seems to have unlocked something.

Behind the horse is trainer Mickey Bowen, operating out of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire — about as far west as you can get in Wales and still be pointing a horse at a racecourse. Distance is no obstacle for the yard, which has sent out 52 winners this season alone. That's a productive operation by any measure, and Slack Alice looks like one of its stories in the making right now.

One note of caution: Slack Alice has typically raced at Class 5 level, which is toward the lower end of the racing ladder, and has yet to win a race at that grade — 0 from 5. The two wins have come when stepped up or placed differently, which suggests the team knows exactly where this horse performs best. With six places from 18 races in total, she's shown consistency without always converting. But right now, with two wins in quick succession and a race just yesterday, she's as fit and as confident as she's ever looked.
