Ugo Bingo

Ugo Bingo is a horse that knows how to pick its moments. The seven-year-old has won three races from 23 attempts over its career—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races—but those victories tell an interesting story about timing and ground conditions. All three wins have come on slightly soft ground, where it has a remarkable record of three wins from seven races, a win rate of nearly 4 in 10. This is the kind of pattern that matters: it suggests the horse genuinely prefers racing when the ground has give in it, rather than on faster, drier terrain.Based on TrackLab's analysis

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

The most striking fact is how recent Ugo Bingo's last victory is. It won at Chepstow just this week on 11 October 2026, suggesting the horse is in current form and still competitive. Its recent six races show mixed fortunes—a win, a third place, and a fifth—sandwiched around some wider positions—but that latest success proves it has not lost its touch.

Interestingly, Ugo Bingo's most consistent rider, Brendan Powell, has not yet found the winning formula with this horse: they have raced together nine times without a victory, which raises the question of whether a change of jockey might unlock something when conditions suit. The horse is trained by Joe Tizzard, a Dorset-based trainer whose yard is having a strong season with 52 winners, suggesting at least that Ugo Bingo is in a stable firing on multiple cylinders. At Class 5 level—the lower rungs of British racing—Ugo Bingo has won only once in ten attempts, indicating it finds itself at the right level, or perhaps even drops slightly in class on ground that plays to its strengths.
