Obelix

His last win came two months ago at Wetherby, and he was racing just a day ago — fourth place in his most recent outing — so he remains an active part of the yard. He won his first race at Newcastle in September 2022, but the breakthrough moment seems to have been a wind operation: Camacho believes that helped unlock what Obelix needed. The trainer likes him ridden cold — patiently, saving ground — and on fast, dry ground; when those conditions align with his preferred distance and surface, he is noticeably sharper. Camacho describes him as a pleasant, low-maintenance sort, the kind of horse that spends most of his day turned out in the paddock rather than stabled, and thrives on that relaxed regime. There is talk at the yard of trying him in the Racing League, though Camacho is still working through the details. The picture is of a useful, straightforward performer who knows what suits him and delivers when the cards fall right.
