Special Ghaiyyath

Those two wins came at different tracks — the first at Beverley in late June 2025, the second at Haydock Park in early September. Winning at two different venues matters. It tells you this isn't a horse that only performs in one very specific set of circumstances; it can adapt, and it has produced the goods when asked. The Haydock win is now the most recent victory on the record, sitting eight months in the past, which makes the current dip in form feel more pronounced. The horse raced just yesterday, so it's clearly being kept busy — the question is whether another win is just around the corner or whether that back-to-back burst was a high-water mark.

The trainer combination of P Charalambous and J Clutterbuck operates out of Newmarket, which is the heartland of British flat racing — home to some of the sport's most respected yards. That said, the team has sent out just 2 winners this season so far, which means they're still building momentum. Special Ghaiyyath competes mostly at Class 5 level, which sits near the bottom of the British racing pyramid — these are competitive races for horses who haven't quite cracked the higher grades. At that level, the horse has won 1 from 6 races (roughly 1 in 6), which is modest but respectable. With 13 races now under its belt and a couple of wins already banked, Special Ghaiyyath is a horse that clearly knows how to win — finding that form again consistently is the next challenge.
