Yehudi

That sole career win came at Kempton Park just this week, on 6 May 2026 — so the memory is fresh and the confidence presumably intact. Kempton is a flat, sharp, all-weather circuit that suits horses who travel well and finish cleanly, and Yehudi clearly took to it. The recent form reads 1-6-4-5-2-5 going backwards, which is a mixed picture — but there is a second place tucked in there too, and the overall career record of 7 places from 18 races shows a horse that is competitive more often than it wins. It gets into the argument; it just does not always close the deal.

The partnership with jockey Billy Loughnane — son of trainer Mark Loughnane — has been the most consistent riding arrangement across Yehudi's career, but it has yet to produce a win together across 8 races. That is a curious footnote given that the horse's one career victory presumably came with someone else in the saddle, and it raises a gentle question about whether the combination is still finding its best. Mark Loughnane's yard at Rock Farm in Worcestershire has sent out 25 winners this season, which shows there is no shortage of ability in the operation — this horse just takes a little longer to deliver its share.

Over distances of seven furlongs to a mile, Yehudi has recorded that 1 win from 11 races — roughly 1 in every 11 — which is where it shows best. The Class 6 level it usually contests is the entry-level tier of British racing, and even there it has found winning elusive, with no victories from 10 races at that grade. That makes this week's success all the more worth savouring. One win from 18 tries is a hard road. Yehudi has finally found the end of it, and with the horse currently active, it will be interesting to see whether Kempton has unlocked something.
