Statuario

There are horses that simply love a particular track, and then there is Statuario, who has made Perth racecourse something close to a personal fiefdom. Six wins from nine races at Perth is a staggering record — that means he has won two out of every three times he has turned up there. To put that in perspective, most decent racehorses win roughly one in every five or six races across their careers. Statuario wins at Perth at more than three times that rate. When this horse loads into the horsebox and heads north to Scotland, something clicks.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

He is a ten-year-old with 25 races behind him, a career record of 6 wins and 13 places, and a win rate of 24% overall — winning roughly 1 in every 4 races across his whole career. That is solid, respectable form at any level. But the Perth numbers are what make you look twice. His first career win came there back in August 2022, and he has gone back repeatedly to take three Class 2 races — one of the better grades of race in Britain — at the same venue. His most recent win was a Class 2 on 24 September 2025, which shows this is not a horse fading with age. He turned up to one of the better races on the calendar and won it.

The man most often in the saddle is Sean Bowen, who has ridden Statuario in 15 of his 25 races and won 4 of them together — a win rate of 27%, which is well above the horse's overall average. That kind of partnership matters. A jockey who knows how a horse moves through a race, when to ask, when to wait, is a genuine advantage. Statuario is trained by Mickey Bowen — Sean's father — based in Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire. It is very much a family operation, and a productive one: the yard has sent out 46 winners this season alone.

Statuario has not raced for 107 days, returning from a break of around three months. His last six runs read 8-6-1-11-1-2, which includes two wins sandwiched around a couple of disappointing efforts — the sort of form that suggests a horse who performs brilliantly on his day but can be inconsistent. The question now is whether the Bowen yard can point him straight back to Perth and find the version of Statuario that has made that track his own.
