The Magus

Trained by Mrs C. Williams at Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan, The Magus has competed mostly at Class 4 level, where it has won just once from nine races — an 11% win rate at that grade. Most often saddled by jockey Conor Ring, the pair have managed a single win from ten races together. This is a horse at the lower end of the competitive scale, the kind that wins occasionally and finishes in the frame often enough to keep the yard interested but rarely rises above its station. The career record of one win from twelve races (an 8% win rate) puts The Magus firmly in the category of a horse that earns its keep through occasional success rather than consistent results, and with nearly two years between wins, patience may be wearing thin. Still, that fresh second-place finish suggests there may be life in the old campaign yet.
