Mayo County

Both of those wins have arrived at the lower end of the racing ladder, in Class 6 company — the entry-level tier where horses are finding their level. Mayo County has won 2 of its 10 races at that grade, which is actually a solid 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5. That's the kind of number that suggests the horse is genuinely competitive when conditions suit, rather than just making up the numbers.

The most recent win came at Redcar in late May 2025, over a year ago now, which means Mayo County is currently on a winless run of six races. That's not a crisis — plenty of horses go through patches like this — but it's worth noting. The recent form reads 3-3-8-5-3-2, which shows a horse that's rarely out of contention at the business end. A second and two thirds in the last six is the kind of form that suggests a win could come at any time, if everything clicks.

Ryan Sexton is the regular partner, having ridden Mayo County in 13 of its 23 races and been aboard for both wins. Together they've won 2 from 13, a win rate of about 15% — roughly 1 in every 6 or 7 rides — which is a meaningful connection worth noting. The trainer is Julie Camacho, whose yard at Norton in North Yorkshire has been in fine form this season, sending out 46 winners. Running horses for a stable firing at that rate is no bad place to be.

Mayo County raced just one day ago, so this is a horse very much in the thick of things. It isn't a big-occasion horse yet, and its career earnings put it firmly in the journeyman bracket, but it's consistent, it places regularly, and it already knows how to win. For a horse still only five, that's a reasonable foundation to build on.
