Babs

Babs is a 5-year-old with a modest but perfectly respectable record — one win and one placed finish from four races, meaning she has won 1 in every 4 times she has lined up. That is a decent return for a horse still finding her feet at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her one career win came at Stratford-on-Avon in October 2025, and it stands as the highlight of her story so far. Since then, back-to-back seventh-place finishes suggest she has found things a little tougher, and with her most recent race coming just yesterday, there is clearly no shortage of ambition from her trainer Henry Oliver, who operates out of a small yard in Abberley, Worcestershire. Oliver has sent out 7 winners already this season, which tells you this is not a yard that simply makes up the numbers — they run their horses when they believe they have a genuine chance.

The key question now is whether Babs can recapture the form that brought her that Stratford win seven months ago. One win does not make a career, but it does prove she can get the job done — and in racing, that matters more than it might sound.
