The overall numbers tell a story of honest effort rather than brilliance — 1 win and 9 places from 24 races is a win rate of just 4%, or roughly 1 in every 24 outings. But context matters here. He competes almost exclusively in Class 5, the bread-and-butter level of British racing where the fields are competitive and wins aren't easily handed out. In those races specifically, he's won 1 from 16 — around 6%, or 1 in every 16. The placings suggest he's competitive at this level; he's just been on the wrong side of close finishes more often than not.
Robert Dunne rides him regularly — 9 times in total — and it was Dunne in the saddle when the win finally came. Together they've won 1 from 9, an 11% win rate, which is meaningfully better than the horse's overall record and suggests the partnership suits. When a jockey keeps coming back to the same horse, it usually means something is clicking even when the results don't always show it.
The trainer is Sarah Hollinshead, based at Upper Longdon in Staffordshire — a small yard that has sent out 1 winner this season. Hollinshead has kept this horse in work and competitive at 11, which is no small thing. Horses at this age can lose their edge, but Gms Prince's recent run of form suggests he remains willing. Whether he can add to that single career win is the question — but given how his form has been trending, it wouldn't be a surprise if Market Rasen sees him again before long.
