Mcgregors Charge
There is something quietly stubborn about Mcgregors Charge that eight-year-olds in sport tend to carry — a hard-earned sense of self. One win from 17 races tells only part of the story. Seven places alongside that single victory means this horse has finished in the frame more than half the time it has actually won, which speaks to a horse that shows up and competes without quite getting its nose in front. At Class 5, the level where it does most of its racing, it has won just 1 from 13 — roughly 1 in every 13 attempts at that tier — which is modest, but the consistency of placing keeps it relevant.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That one win finally came at Perth on 16 August 2025, and the fact it is also the most recent win tells you everything about how rare those moments have been. Perth is a track in the far north of Scotland, and breaking through there is a proper event for any yard. Kayley Woollacott trains out of Woolminstone in Somerset — essentially the other end of the country — so getting a winner on the board at a track that far from home takes effort and planning. Woollacott's yard has sent out 16 winners this season, which shows the operation is in good health even if Mcgregors Charge has been one of the harder nuts to crack.
The partnership with jockey Ben Godfrey is a curious subplot. Ten races together and no wins between them — yet the booking keeps coming, which suggests the team sees something they like in how that combination works, even without the breakthrough. Recent form adds some intrigue: a win, then two placed efforts, then a gap in the record and then two unplaced runs to close things out. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is very much in active campaign mode. Whether the Perth victory has shaken something loose or whether it remains a horse that places more often than it wins is the interesting question for anyone following its next few outings.
