Connie's Rose

Her overall career numbers tell a solid story. Ten wins and 37 placed finishes from 70 races, which works out at roughly 1 win in every 7 outings, with prize money coming her way more often than not. She is trained by Grace Harris, based at Shirenewton in Gwent — a yard that has sent out 27 winners this season alone, which is a healthy tally and a sign that the operation knows what it is doing. Callum Hutchinson has been her most regular partner in the saddle, riding her 20 times and winning 3 of them, a rate of roughly 1 in every 7 rides together.

The recent form does give some cause for pause. Her last six races read 1, 8, 5, 6, 5, 6 — and that win, her most recent, came at Chepstow back in September 2025, which is now eight months ago. The five runs since have all ended in mid-pack finishes, which suggests she is not quite recapturing that level right now. Whether that is a temporary dip or something more stubborn is the question her trainer will be working to answer.

What is not in doubt is what she is capable of on her best day. First getting off the mark at Chepstow in July 2022, she has returned to that track to win six more times since — making it, effectively, her home. For anyone watching her run there, knowing that record exists makes every race feel a little bit different.
