Up The Anti

The encouraging detail is that Up The Anti performs noticeably better over the middle distances, between 1 mile 1 furlong and 1 mile 2 furlongs. Over that trip it has won one of four races—a 25 percent win rate—which is genuinely solid and suggests the horse knows where it is most comfortable. Its three career wins have all come in lower-grade Class 6 races, where it wins roughly once every six attempts. The most recent victory came at Kempton Park on 10 December 2025, but that was ten months ago, a long drought for any racehorse. Since then, six consecutive runs have brought nothing better than a second place.

Jack Doughty, the horse's most frequent jockey, has yet to score aboard it—zero wins from seven rides together—which might hint at a mismatch, though the small sample makes it hard to say for certain. Up The Anti is trained by Tony Carroll at Cropthorne in Worcestershire, a yard sending out winners at a healthy clip this season with 136 wins to its name. The horse remains active and competitive, but without a win in nearly a year, patience is clearly being tested. If it can rediscover form around 1m1f to 1m2f, there is enough ability there to find the winner's enclosure again.
