Azleet

The Newmarket connection is what really stands out. Two wins from four races at the course means Azleet has won exactly half of its races there, and that kind of record at a track as competitive and well-attended as Newmarket is worth taking seriously. Plenty of horses never figure out a particular venue; Azleet seems to have made it a home. The most recent win came there just three weeks ago, so the affinity is very much current, not a distant memory.

One of those Newmarket wins came in the Class 2 Newmarket July race on 2 August 2025 — and Class 2 means one of the better races in Britain, so that result carries real weight. It tells you this isn't just a horse beating modest opposition on a quiet afternoon. First career win came at Southwell in July 2025, and the progression since then has been sharp. Stuart Williams has had a productive season with his yard, sending out 67 winners, so Azleet is operating in capable hands within a team that clearly knows what it's doing.

Jockey Marco Ghiani has ridden Azleet in 7 of its 9 races and won 3 of them — that's 43 in every 100 rides together, or roughly 3 in 7, which speaks to a real working partnership. When a jockey and horse click like that, trainers tend to keep the arrangement going for good reason.

The one honest caveat: when Azleet has stepped up into Class 1 — the very top tier of British racing — it's 0 from 3. That's not unusual for a three-year-old still finding its ceiling, but it does suggest the horse is still proving itself at the very highest level. For now, though, at Newmarket and just below the top grade, Azleet looks like exactly the kind of horse that rewards close attention.
