Trawlerman

Trawlerman is an eight-year-old horse operating at the very top level of British racing, and the numbers tell a story of consistent excellence. With 10 wins from 20 races—a 50% win rate—this horse wins roughly one race in every two it runs, which is the kind of record that separates genuine class from ordinary talent. More impressive still is his recent form: across his last six races, he has finished first or second in every single one, winning four of them. He raced just over a day ago and is still very much in action.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The pattern of his victories reveals where Trawlerman truly dominates. He has won four of his last five races at top-tier courses, all of them Class 1 events—the kind of races that matter. His most recent win came at Ascot on 18 October 2025, part of a remarkable run that includes victories at York, Sandown Park, and Ascot again earlier that year. At Ascot specifically, he has won 3 of his 8 races there, making him a genuine course specialist at one of Britain's most prestigious racetracks. When competing at Class 1 level—where the very best horses race—he has won 6 of 9 races, a 67% win rate that shows he belongs in elite company.

William Buick has been Trawlerman's primary rider, winning 4 of their 7 races together, a 57% partnership record that reflects a strong understanding between horse and jockey. The horse is trained by J & T Gosden at their Newmarket base, a yard that has already sent out 140 winners this season. Trawlerman's career began modestly at Chelmsford on 15 April 2022, but he has progressed steadily into the elite ranks, and his consistency over the past eighteen months suggests he remains a force to be reckoned with at the highest level of the sport.
