El Rojo Grande

Trained by Katy Price at her yard in Llanigon, Herefordshire, El Rojo Grande is part of a stable in decent form — six winners already this season. The partnership with jockey Shane Quinlan is the key relationship to understand here: together they have won 3 of their 10 races, which works out at 30%, or roughly 1 in every 3 rides. That is a genuinely strong pairing. When Quinlan is booked, it is worth paying attention.

The horse's recent form tells a compelling story. Reading back through the last six races — a win, two second-place finishes, another win, a couple of blanks — this is a horse very much in the thick of things, not one winding down. The first career win came at Market Rasen in January 2026, and the most recent arrived at Warwick just three weeks ago on 26 March. That Warwick win is the freshest data point, and it matters: El Rojo Grande raced just yesterday and is clearly being kept busy by the team while form is good.

The bulk of this horse's career has been spent at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter tier of British racing — competitive enough to mean something, without the glamour of the sport's biggest occasions. At that level, 3 wins from 15 races (20%, or 1 in 5) is a perfectly respectable return. El Rojo Grande is not a horse chasing trophies, but it is a horse that turns up, competes hard, and increasingly wins. At nine years old, with a Warwick victory banked three weeks ago and another race already in the legs since then, the story is still very much being written.
