Brasil Power

The key to understanding this horse is knowing where he belongs. Over longer trips — between a mile and six furlongs and two miles — he has won 3 of just 6 races, a remarkable 50% record that tells you he really comes alive when there's genuine stamina involved. Wolverhampton on the artificial surface is where he has done his best work, with 3 wins from 9 races there. That might sound modest, but courses on the all-weather circuit can be brutally hard to dominate — the fields are competitive and the draw matters enormously. Winning 1 in every 3 races at a single track marks a horse out as a genuine specialist.

His most recent big moment came on Boxing Day 2025, when he won a Class 2 race at Wolverhampton — one of the better races outside the very top tier in Britain. Jockey Billy Loughnane, who has won 4 of their 12 races together (a win rate of 1 in 3), described a horse that offers something unusual: genuine stamina, but also a turn of foot if the pace drops. "If they go slow he also has the finishing speed," Loughnane said after the race. That combination — grind or sprint — is rare, and it's exactly why Wolverhampton, with its tight turns and pace-testing track, suits him so well.

The honest conversation at Boughey's yard right now is about where Brasil Power fits at this stage of his career. He ran in a prestigious staying race at Kempton, but Loughnane wasn't entirely convinced he saw out the trip at that level, and Boughey has suggested they might come back in distance to find races where his mark gives him a better chance. It's a refreshingly candid assessment — not every trainer is willing to recalibrate. Brasil Power raced just a day ago and remains very much in action, so whatever trip they settle on next, the story isn't finished yet.
