Fantasy Master

Fantasy Master is one of those horses that rewards the patient observer. Now eight years old, he has built up a solid record of 6 wins and 16 places from 41 races — winning roughly 1 in every 7 races across his career, which tells you he is consistent without being a superstar. Trained by Robert Cowell at Newmarket, whose yard has already sent out 24 winners this season, Fantasy Master is very much a working professional rather than a headline act.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most eye-catching part of his profile is Doncaster. He has won 2 from 5 races there, which is a 40% record at a single track — extraordinary when you consider his overall win rate is just 15%. That is the kind of course affinity that experienced punters take seriously, the sort of thing that can turn a casual interest into a very confident feeling.

His biggest moment came at Nottingham on 28 September 2022, where he won a Class 2 race — one of the top tier events in British racing. That was also his first career win on turf, and the post-race reaction from the yard at the time made clear he had been something of an unknown quantity beforehand. He reportedly hit every bump in the ground and still found a way to the line, which says something about his determination on the day.

David Egan has been his most trusted partner in the saddle, riding him 13 times and winning 3 of those — that is 23%, or nearly 1 win in every 4 rides together, well above his overall win rate. The combination clearly works. Fantasy Master also has a particular affinity for normal ground conditions, winning 2 from 7 or 8 races in those circumstances — around 1 in every 3 or 4 attempts, far better than his general average.

Most of his racing life is spent at Class 4 level, winning 3 from 19 races there, but his last win came at Chelmsford as recently as December 2025, just five months ago. His recent form reads 3-1-5-5-6-10, so the direction of travel is upwards — he has placed in two of his last three races and raced just yesterday, meaning he is in the thick of a current campaign. For a horse of his age, that level of activity and a recent win suggests he still has plenty to offer.
