The partnership with jockey Molly Gunn is the one that has stuck, though results have been modest: 1 win from their 16 races together, a win rate of around 6%, or roughly 1 in every 16 rides. That is not a damning figure at this level, where margins are tight and fields competitive, but it does suggest the combination has yet to fully click.
Tony Carroll, who trains Autumn Angel from his yard in Cropthorne, Worcestershire, has had a productive season — 136 winners sent out is a serious number, the kind of output that marks a yard operating at real volume and efficiency. Autumn Angel's first career win came at Southwell in February 2023, and the most recent came at Wolverhampton on 7 January 2025. That Wolverhampton win is now 16 months in the rear-view mirror, and the last 6 races have produced nothing better than a pair of third-place finishes, with a seventh-place run most recently.
Raced just yesterday, Autumn Angel is clearly still active and still being aimed at races. At 62 outings, it is a well-travelled, durable horse that knows its job. Whether another win is coming is the open question — but with a trainer in form and a horse that clearly stays sound and keeps showing up, it would be unwise to write it off entirely.
