Damysus

What makes Damysus particularly interesting is where those wins have come. A Class 1 victory at Newmarket in October 2025 — one of the biggest races at one of Britain's most famous and demanding tracks — confirmed this was no ordinary horse picking up soft races at quiet venues. Newmarket is a straight, fast, unforgiving course where there is nowhere to hide. Winning there at the highest level, then returning to win at Newmarket again in April 2026, suggests a real affinity with the track. Some horses suit a particular circuit the way some footballers suit a particular stadium, and Damysus clearly feels at home on the Rowley Mile.

The recent form makes for interesting reading too. Reading right to left — 3rd, 2nd, 18th, 1st, 1st, 6th — you can see a horse that had one rough afternoon (that 18th is the obvious blip) but either side of it has been consistently in the mix or winning outright. Two wins from the last six races keeps the momentum going for a 4-year-old that is still, in horse terms, relatively young and presumably still developing.

Behind the scenes, Damysus is trained by the Newmarket yard of John and Thady Gosden, one of the most respected operations in British racing. Their team has sent out 140 winners this season alone — that is not a yard that wastes its time on horses without talent. The fact that they have pointed Damysus repeatedly at Class 1 races, the very top tier of the sport, tells you everything about how highly they rate this horse. With a race just yesterday and the season still running, there is clearly more to come.
