Yes I'm Mali
Yes I'm Mali is a 4-year-old with the kind of record that tells you exactly what kind of horse this is: honest, consistent, and good enough to win when the conditions suit. Five wins from 32 races—that's roughly 1 win in every 6 outings—doesn't sound like much until you realize the horse has also finished in the money in 13 of those races. That's a horse that shows up and performs. The real story, though, is how selective those victories are. At Class 4 level, where most of this horse's racing happens, Yes I'm Mali wins about 1 in every 4 times out. Step up to the top races, and the picture changes: that Class 2 win at York in August 2024 proved this horse has a ceiling higher than the routine wins suggest, though recent form shows the consistency has wavered. In the last six races, there's been just one win (at Ripon four weeks ago) and a lot of mid-field finishes.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Joe Fanning rides the horse more than anyone else, and when they team up, the results are noticeably better: two wins in five races together means Fanning gets nearly 40 percent of his rides into the winner's circle, compared to the overall 16 percent win rate. That's the kind of thing a trainer notices. David O'Meara's yard at Upper Helmsley in North Yorkshire has been in outstanding form this season with 101 winners, so Yes I'm Mali is in a place where racing fitness and good planning matter. The real test now will be whether recent dips in form are just a temporary blip or a sign this horse is running out of races at its level. For a horse that has earned only what its five victories amount to in prize money, staying competitive in Class 4 races is where the value lies—and where Fanning and O'Meara seem to know how to make it happen.
