Ciao Capo

What stands out most is how well Ciao Capo performs when the trip is right. Over distances between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, this horse has won 2 of its 4 races — exactly half. That's not a fluke; it's a pattern. Some horses take time to work out what suits them, and it looks like the Fahey yard has cracked that particular puzzle.

Richard and Peter Fahey train out of Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a yard that has sent out 9 winners already this season. They have a reputation for knowing their horses well, and Ciao Capo seems to be benefiting from that patience. The first career win came at Newcastle back in November 2025, but the horse has clearly kept improving — the most recent win came at Beverley just this week, on 12 May 2026, which shows a horse in the form of its life right now.

The recent run of results — 1, 4, 1, 4, 6, 15 reading from most recent back — tells an interesting story on its own. Ignore that 15 at the far end; that was early days. Since then, there have been a couple of mid-pack finishes sandwiching two wins, which suggests a horse that runs consistently at a decent level and knows how to hit the line first when things fall right. Racing twice in quick succession and winning is no small thing — it takes a tough, well-managed horse to back up like that. At three, with a win this week and the right distance clearly identified, Ciao Capo looks like a horse whose story is still very much being written.
