Woolridge
Woolridge is a 4-year-old who has just broken his duck at Newcastle after a long wait in the saddle. He finally got his head in front on 12 October 2026, his first and only win to date from 18 races across a four-year career. That works out to roughly 1 win in every 17 attempts — a tough win rate that speaks to how hard it is to get a horse to the winner's circle, even once.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What's encouraging is that Woolridge has found the frame regularly. He's picked up five places alongside that one win, so he's clearly capable of running well and finishing close to the action. His recent form shows he's in work right now and racing actively: a third-place finish came before his winning effort, and he's had a couple of fifth and fourth-place runs as well, mixed in with some tougher days when he's struggled to make an impact. That win at Newcastle this week came at just the right time — proof that patience and regular racing can pay off.
He's trained by Scott Dixon, who runs his string from Rolleston in Nottinghamshire. Dixon's yard has already sent out 33 winners this season, so Woolridge has a trainer with the knowledge and resources to keep him competitive. At four years old, Woolridge still has time to add to his tally, especially now that the monkey is off his back.
