His first win came at Wolverhampton in April 2025, and he has since added a second at Lingfield in April 2026. Both victories have come on normal ground, over distances between seven furlongs and a mile — and when you look at the numbers, the picture sharpens. On that combination of distance and surface, he has won 2 of 11 races, an 18% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5 and a half. That is meaningfully better than his overall record and suggests he is a horse who knows exactly what conditions suit him.
Alfie Redman has partnered Francisco eight times, winning once together — 1 from 8, or about 1 in every 8 rides. That is a modest conversion rate, but the partnership has been consistent, and their win came during that recent purple patch in form. Patrick Chamings trains him from a small yard in Baughurst, Hampshire, and the team has sent out nine winners this season, so they clearly know how to get a horse ready to run.
The one puzzle in Francisco's profile is his record at Class 6 — the lower tier of British racing — where he has run 11 times without winning. That is a strange quirk, because you might expect a horse to pick up wins at that level more readily. It suggests he may actually be better suited when stepped up slightly in class, where the pace of the race perhaps draws out a more committed performance. With his best ground, best trip, and current form all pointing in the right direction, Francisco is the kind of horse who quietly rewards anyone paying close attention.
