At five years old, Midnight Call has built a career record of 6 wins and 10 places from 17 races — a 35% win rate, meaning it wins roughly 1 in every 3 races it enters. That is genuinely impressive. Add in the places and this horse has come home in the money in nearly all of its races, which tells you it is competitive and consistent rather than a one-hit wonder. All six career wins have come at the level where it is most comfortable, and at that level it wins almost half the time — 4 wins from 9 races at Class 6, which is the bread-and-butter end of British racing where horses compete in tight, competitive fields week in and week out.
The horse raced just yesterday and won at Wolverhampton on 18 May 2026, its second win in the last six races. That recent burst of form — a win, a fourth, another win — suggests a horse in good heart right now. Trainer Tony Carroll, based at Cropthorne in Worcestershire, has had a remarkable season, sending out 136 winners. A trainer running at that volume with that kind of success rate knows exactly which horses to point at which races, and Midnight Call clearly fits neatly into his plans.
Regular jockey Matthew Lloyd Slater has ridden the horse in 9 of its races and won twice together — winning roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 rides, or 22% of the time. That is a solid partnership, and the fact that Slater keeps getting the call suggests those around the horse trust that combination. With all six career wins coming at Wolverhampton and the horse still active and in form, expect to see Midnight Call lining up there again before long — and expect it to go off as a horse that punters and racegoers alike will have circled.
