The real story with Zuffolo is his love of fast, dry ground. On these conditions, he wins roughly once in every three races — 3 wins from 10 — which is substantially better than his overall record and gives his the yard something to work with when planning entries. It is at Class 5 level, the lower tiers of British racing, that he does most of his work, with 3 wins from 23 races there. His most recent victory came at Ripon on 27 July, and while he raced just yesterday — finishing third — he has shown enough staying power to suggest he is still worth following.
One puzzle is his record with Connor Beasley, his most frequent jockey. From 12 races together, they have not won once. This is a clear mismatch, and Dods may well be looking elsewhere when conditions favour Zuffolo. That said, his recent form shows real interest: across his last six races he has won once, finished third twice, and failed to trouble the frame only once. A mid-range northern horse with a clear fondness for a firm track and the consistency to keep earning entries — that is Zuffolo in a nutshell.
