Wee Alki

What makes the horse genuinely interesting is its relationship with Hexham. Of those 20 career races, eight have come at the Northumberland track — and Wee Alki has won two of them. That is 1 win in every 4 races at Hexham, compared to 1 in every 10 everywhere else. That kind of contrast is not a coincidence. Some horses simply take to a particular track — the layout, the terrain, the atmosphere — and Hexham appears to bring out the best in this one. The most recent win came there just six weeks ago, on 2 May 2026, which means Wee Alki arrives in its current season in form and on familiar ground.

The horse is trained by Susan Corbett, who operates out of Otterburn in Northumberland — not far from Hexham at all, which may go some way to explaining the local expertise. Her yard has sent out 11 winners already this season, a solid output that suggests a well-run operation. In the saddle, Nathan Moscrop has partnered Wee Alki nine times, winning once together — an 11% win rate from that partnership, roughly 1 in 9, which is actually a touch better than the horse's overall record. That continuity between horse and jockey can matter more than people realise.

Wee Alki races mainly at Class 5 level, which is the entry level of British racing, and has won 1 of 11 races at that grade. Recent form reads as two near-misses followed by a win, which is about as encouraging a sequence as you could hope for. With a race just yesterday and a clear preference for Hexham already established, this is a horse worth keeping an eye on next time it heads back to its favourite track.
