Take All

The most interesting chapter in Take All's record is at Wexford, where the horse has won 2 of just 3 races. That kind of record at a specific track is genuinely unusual — it suggests the track suits something about how this horse moves or races, and any time Take All turns up at Wexford, it commands attention. The career started there too, with a first win on 25 October 2021, which gives that course an almost sentimental significance in the story.

The most recent win came at Ludlow on 2 April 2025 — now around 12 months ago — and since then Take All has gone six races without adding to the tally. The last six runs read 4-4-3-2-8-3 in reverse, which is a mixed picture: a couple of near-misses, a distant eighth, and a placing just the other day, since this horse raced only yesterday and is very much still active. At Class 3 level — a step up in quality — the record reads zero wins from three attempts, which suggests that when the competition gets stiffer, Take All finds it harder to go all the way.

Regular jockey Kevin Sexton has been in the saddle for 11 of those 39 races together, winning once — roughly 1 in every 11 rides as a partnership. That is modest by any measure, but the relationship has endured, which counts for something in racing. At 11, Take All is not getting younger, and a return to Wexford might be the most likely path back to the winner's enclosure. Until then, this is a horse that keeps showing up, keeps placing, and keeps reminding everyone it has not quite finished yet.
