Vixey

The clearest pattern in Vixey's record is her love of Chester. She has won twice there from just five races, a win rate of 40% that stands out sharply against her overall 15% win rate. That last Chester win came a year ago in September 2025, and she has been chasing that form ever since without success. Her best work also comes on normal ground, where she wins roughly three times in every ten races—a significant edge over her overall record. Both facts matter: trainers look for these patterns and will aim her at meetings where the conditions suit.

Aiden Brookes, her most frequent partner, gets the best out of her. The pair have recorded four wins from 16 races together, a partnership win rate of 25%, compared to her career average. That kind of jockey-horse chemistry is worth noting when the form stalls. Away from her preferred track and ground, though, Vixey reverts to type. She has not won in her last six races and last raced just a day ago. Simon West's Middleham yard is small but active—five winners this season—and at six years old Vixey remains useful. She is the kind of horse who will win again, most likely at Chester on a decent surface with Brookes in the saddle, but the clock is ticking quietly for all horses at this level and in this part of their careers.
