Black Hawk Eagle

His recent form makes for interesting reading: 4-1-3-6-2-9, read from most recent backwards. There is a win in there, a couple of close calls, and one or two disappointing days — which is about as honest a picture of a solid, competitive horse as you will get. Crucially, that win came just two months ago at Chepstow in March 2026, which means Black Hawk Eagle is not a horse living on past glories. He raced just yesterday and is firmly in the thick of an active campaign.

The trainer behind him is Kerry Lee, based at Byton in Herefordshire — a yard that has sent out 12 winners already this season, which signals a stable in decent form. When jockey Richard Patrick takes the ride, the results sharpen up noticeably: they have won 2 of their 8 races together, a win rate of 25%, or 1 in every 4 rides. That is meaningfully better than the horse's overall average, suggesting Patrick has a good understanding of how to get the best out of him.

Where things get really interesting is in the conditions. On slightly soft, wet ground, Black Hawk Eagle has won 2 from 4 races — that is a 50% win rate, which is a remarkable return and basically tells you he transforms on a damp surface. Pair that with his preferred distance of between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, where he has won 3 from 10 races (30%), and you have a horse with a very clear profile. When the ground rides wet and the trip is right, he becomes a genuine contender. He typically races at Class 3 level, one step below the top tier but still competitive racing, and has converted 1 in every 5 of those starts. A horse that knows what he likes — and delivers when he gets it.
