Chillhi

There is more to Chillhi than a bare record of 5 wins from 51 races might suggest. That works out to roughly 1 win in every 10 races, which sounds modest until you understand what this horse has been through. At some point in his career, Chillhi was suffering from kissing spines — a painful back condition where the vertebrae press against each other — and had to undergo surgery to correct it. His trainer, Barry John Murphy, based in Caerfyrddin in Carmarthenshire, recalls watching the horse go to the front in races and then seemingly give up, his head coming up at the crucial moment. For a while, nobody could work out why. Once the diagnosis came and the operation was done, everything made sense. A horse in that kind of pain who still managed to win races, and still kept turning up, deserves some credit.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Now six years old and apparently in good health, Chillhi is an active racer who last ran just one day ago. His most recent win came at Stratford-on-Avon in September 2025, around eight months back, and his last six runs have produced a third place as the best result — suggesting he is competitive but not quite finding the winning thread at the moment. His regular partner in the saddle is jockey Ben Robinson, who has ridden him 19 times and won twice together, a win rate of about 1 in 9 rides. That is a solid partnership built on familiarity.

Where Chillhi really catches the eye is at Newcastle, where he has won 2 of his 13 races there. That might not sound dramatic, but course specialists in racing are genuinely valuable — some horses simply take to a track's shape, cambers, and surface in a way that gives them a consistent edge. Chillhi also clearly benefits from wet or muddy ground, winning 2 of just 6 races in those conditions, a rate of 1 in 3, which is well above his overall average. Most of his racing has been at Class 5 level, the bread-and-butter tier of the sport, where he has won 2 from 16. Murphy's yard has sent out just 1 winner this season, so when Chillhi does hit form, he is carrying the flag for a small, quietly operating operation. That context makes each win feel a little more meaningful.
