Trais Fluors

That home, unmistakably, is Newcastle. Five of Trais Fluors' six career wins have come at that track — 5 wins from 27 races there, which works out at roughly 1 in every 5 races at that venue. To put that in context: at every other track combined, this horse has managed just a single win. Newcastle is not just a preference, it is practically a second stable. The most recent win came there on New Year's Day 2026, which is a lovely detail — a veteran horse delivering on the biggest day of the year.

The preference for normal ground is another telling pattern. On standard conditions, Trais Fluors has won 5 of 24 races — again, about 1 in every 5. That is a meaningful number. It suggests a horse who performs at its best when the ground is neither too firm nor too soft, and who struggles when conditions move away from that sweet spot.

Trainer Linda Perratt, based in East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire, has had a productive season with 19 winners from her yard. Jockey Kaiya Fraser rides Trais Fluors most regularly, winning once from their 8 races together — a 12% win rate, or roughly 1 in 8, which reflects the level at which this horse operates rather than any lack of quality in the partnership. Most of their work comes at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter end of British racing — competitive enough, but below the top-tier occasions.

The recent form figures — finishing 8th, 8th, 5th, 11th, 7th, and 6th across the last six races — show a horse without a win in that spell, and the results are modest. But Trais Fluors raced just yesterday and is still active at 12 years old, which in itself tells you something. Horses do not keep racing at this age unless they are sound and willing. The question, as always with this one, is whether Newcastle and normal ground come together at the right moment again.
