Spinning Wheel

The horse was trained by Simon & Ed Crisford's Newmarket yard, which has sent out 78 winners already this season, so it sits in a genuinely competitive operation. Spinning Wheel's breakthrough came at Beverley on 24 April 2025, and since then the horse has won twice more at its favoured distance before a recent success at Southwell on 6 August 2026—just two weeks ago. Over its last six races, it has finished first twice, second twice, and tenth once, showing the kind of form that suggests it belongs among consistent middle-tier performers. With racing just a day ago, Spinning Wheel remains active and in work, so the yard is clearly confident in what it has.

What makes this horse genuinely interesting is the tightness of its profile. Many racehorses are useful at several distances or suit a variety of conditions. Spinning Wheel has instead become a specialist—a horse that wins when conditions, distance, and opposition align just so. For a trainer, that kind of clarity is gold. It means no guesswork, no experimenting. When Spinning Wheel goes to the races at the right trip, there is a real chance it will fire. That is the mark of a horse that knows its job.
