Sugar Hill Babe

The headline number is the partnership with jockey Lewis Edmunds. In 8 races together they have won 4 times — that is a 50% win rate, or half of every ride converting into a victory. In horse racing terms, that borders on extraordinary. Most top jockey-horse partnerships would be thrilled with 1 in 4. Something clearly clicks between the two of them, and any race card showing Edmunds in the saddle on Sugar Hill Babe is worth paying close attention to.

She is also a genuine course specialist at Nottingham. Two wins from 6 races there — winning 1 in every 3 — is a strong record at any single track, and it is not ancient history either. She won there just three weeks ago, on 31 May 2026, which is about as current as form gets. Horses that keep returning to a track and keep winning there are often doing so for a reason — the layout suits how they travel, or the ground tends to suit them. Nottingham seems to bring out something extra in this horse.

Speaking of ground, she goes particularly well on fast, dry conditions, winning 2 of her 6 races on that surface — a 33% win rate, more than double her career average. That is a meaningful pattern rather than a coincidence, and worth noting as summer racing continues.

Trained by Lisa Williamson at a small yard in Kelsall, Cheshire, Sugar Hill Babe is part of a set-up that has already sent out 6 winners this season — solid output for a stable of that size. She raced just one day ago and remains active and in consistent form. Her recent run of results reads 6-1-2-9-6-11, with that second-place finish three runs ago a reminder that the winning thread is never far away. At Class 4 level she has won 2 from 18 races — just 11%, or roughly 1 in 9 — which tells you this grade tests her, but she keeps showing up and she keeps competing.
