Beylerbeyi

The standout fact is Beylerbeyi's dominance at Newmarket, where it has won two of three races. That includes a Class 2 victory on 11 October 2025—one of the top races in Britain—which remains its most recent win and came 11 months ago. That single victory at such a high level is a significant badge of honour and shows the horse has genuine quality. Trained by Ian Williams at Portway in Worcestershire, Beylerbeyi is ridden most often by Billy Loughnane, though their partnership has not quite clicked consistently: the jockey has two wins from seven mounts together, a 29% win rate that suggests the pairing works best in specific circumstances.

Beylerbeyi also shows a preference for longer distances—races of two miles or more—where it has won one of three attempts, a 33% win rate that is notably higher than its overall record. This is a useful clue for anyone watching future entries: the horse seems to settle better when given time to warm up and space to run. At Class 5 level (routine races), it has been profitable with three wins from eleven starts. The current dry spell is frustrating for the yard, but an 11-month gap since the last success is not uncommon for a horse of this age and ability. Ian Williams's yard continues to perform well overall this season with 96 winners, so there is experience and confidence behind this horse's future plans.
