City Of God
City Of God broke through for its only career win at Southwell back in January 2025, but that single success has proven hard to build on. The 4-year-old has managed just three placings from its remaining 11 races, giving it a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 starts — a modest tally that reflects the steep competition even at the lower levels of racing. What makes the picture grimmer is that it has gone 19 months without another victory, and in its last six outings it has failed to finish in the money, suggesting the horse is struggling to recapture the form it showed on that day at Southwell.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trainer Michael Attwater's yard at Epsom has been in good order this season with 27 winners to its name, but City Of God remains one of the harder nuts to crack. When ridden by Sam James — its most frequent partner with one win from five rides — the horse has managed a 20% win rate, which hints that the jockey may bring out the best in it, though the sample is small. Where City Of God does pose a genuine problem is at Class 4 level, the grade at which it typically competes: it has yet to win from four attempts at that standard, going nowhere when the quality tightens.
The horse raced just a day ago, so it remains an active part of the yard's plans, but the gap since its last win and the recent blank form all point to a horse that has found its level and is struggling to break through it. For a 4-year-old, that kind of stall can be hard to shift.
