Stamina Chope

The horse really clicks when conditions turn slightly soft. On slightly soft ground, Stamina Chope has won 2 of her last 7 races there—that's 29%, nearly triple her overall rate. This is the kind of detail that matters to her the yard. Dave Roberts, the trainer at Kenley in Shropshire, and jockey Lee Edwards, who has ridden him in 27 races, have clearly learned when to play their hand. Edwards has a partnership that works: 4 wins from 27 rides together, a 15% return that sits noticeably above the horse's overall win rate, suggesting the two understand each other.

Recent form tells an interesting story. In her last six races, Stamina Chope has won twice and placed three times—she is genuinely running well. Her last victory came at Ffos Las on 30 January 2026, seven months ago, and she raced just yesterday, which means she remains sharp and active. Most of her racing has been in Class 5 events, where she has won 3 of 23 races. These are not prestige contests, but they suit her level, and at ten years old, Stamina Chope is still hunting winners. For a horse at this stage of her career, the fact that she can still strike for prizes and keep finding places shows a competitor who has earned her keep and remains useful to the yard.
