Sky Safari

The horse has spent much of the past year operating at the very highest level of British racing, winning two Class 1 races — the top tier — at Lingfield Park in November 2025 and again in February 2026, as well as a Class 2 at Kempton Park in September 2025. These are not easy races to win once. Winning them repeatedly puts Sky Safari in genuinely elite company. And at Kempton Park specifically, the record reads three from three — a perfect score. That is not luck; that is a horse that simply thrives on that track.

One of the more intriguing details in the record is what happens when the ground gets wet. On soft or muddy surfaces, Sky Safari has raced three times and won all three. Some horses hate the mud and perform well below their best; Sky Safari seems to relish it. That combination — a love of soft ground and a perfect record at an all-weather track — suggests a horse that is quietly versatile in the best possible way.

The partnership with jockey Daniel Muscutt is central to the story. Together they have won 6 of their 9 races — roughly 2 in every 3 — which is a remarkable level of consistency between horse and rider. James Fanshawe's yard in Newmarket has already sent out 47 winners this season, making it one of the busiest and most productive operations in British racing right now, and Sky Safari looks like one of its prize assets.

Recent form reads 8-1-2-1-1-1 — four wins from the last six races, with that eighth-place finish the only blemish in an otherwise dominant recent run. Raced just one day ago and still active, Sky Safari is very much a horse at the peak of its powers right now.
