Diamand De Vindecy

The win rate of 7% — roughly 1 in every 14 races — is modest, but the place record softens that picture considerably. Ten times in 30 races, Diamand De Vindecy has finished close enough to matter, which suggests a horse that rarely has a bad day, even if brilliant ones are rare. It operates mainly at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, and has won 2 of its 14 races there — roughly 1 in every 7, which is actually a respectable return at that grade.

What the stats do flag up is a preference for normal ground conditions. Both career wins have come on a standard surface, and the record of 2 from 10 on those days — winning 1 in every 5 races — is notably stronger than what the overall numbers suggest. Conditions matter with this horse. Its first win came at Haydock Park in June 2024, and the second at Pontefract in April 2025, so there's evidence it can perform at more than one track when everything clicks.

Trainer Robert Bevis runs a quiet yard out of Duckington in Cheshire, and with just two winners on the board this season, Diamand De Vindecy is carrying real responsibility for the team. Jason Hart is the most regular jockey on board, winning once from their seven races together — a win rate of 14%, or 1 in 7 — which represents the best version of this partnership. Hart knows the horse, and that familiarity clearly counts for something.

The most recent run was just yesterday, keeping Diamand De Vindecy firmly in the active column, though the last six races without a win will be a concern. The last victory came 13 months ago at Pontefract, and recent form of two fifth-place finishes, a second, and a fourth suggests the horse is competitive but searching for that final click. A return to normal ground and the right track could easily change that.
