The Feminine Urge

What "falling right" looks like for this horse is fairly clear. On fast, dry ground she wins 2 from 7 races — nearly 1 in 3 — which is a dramatically better return than her overall figures suggest. Take away those conditions and the wins dry up almost entirely. She runs most of her races at Class 5, the bread-and-butter level of the sport, where she has won 2 from 15 — just 1 in every 7 or 8 — which is modest but respectable for a horse operating at that level week in, week out.

Her most regular partner is Callum Shepherd, who has ridden her in 10 of her 20 races and accounts for both of those Class 5 wins, giving them a shared win rate of 20% — 1 in 5 — which is noticeably better than her career average. That kind of familiarity between horse and jockey matters more than people realise. Her most recent win came at Great Yarmouth in June 2025, and she hasn't won in the six races since, with recent finishes of 4th, 8th, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 6th — always in the mix, never quite getting there.

She raced just yesterday, which means she's very much in active training and her the yard clearly believe there's another win in her. Given that her record on fast, dry ground is almost twice as good as her overall numbers, the ground conditions on her next few race days will be worth watching. A warm spell, a dry track, and Shepherd in the saddle — that's when The Feminine Urge tends to show what she's really capable of.
