Black Cab
Black Cab has found his groove at Wolverhampton, winning twice at the track over the course of his career and doing it again just this week. The five-year-old's second victory came on 5 May, a result that caps an impressive recent run where he finished in the money in 3 of his last 6 races, including a second-place finish two runs back. With 2 wins and 5 places from 16 races overall, he is winning roughly 1 in every 8 races—modest numbers on their own, but at a track where he has now recorded 2 victories from 9 attempts, the pattern is clear. Wolverhampton brings out the best in him, and that consistency is worth watching.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse is most often partnered with jockey Saffie Osborne, though that combination has yet to produce a winner across five rides together. Black Cab typically races in Class 6 company, where he has won 1 of 9 races, but his recent form suggests he is in a productive phase. After that winning run this week, he remains active and likely to be back on the track soon. For a horse operating at this level, winning twice at a single venue and showing the ability to place regularly makes him a fixture worth following, especially when he returns to his happy hunting ground.
