Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque

Four years into her training career, Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque is still in the early stages of building her yard's reputation — but there are genuine signs of progress. Since taking out her licence in 2021, she has sent out 21 career winners, and this season she has managed 2 wins from 38 runners, which works out at roughly 1 in every 19 races. That might sound modest, but the important detail is the direction of travel: her win rate has nudged up from 3% last year to 5% this season, a small but meaningful improvement for a trainer still finding her feet.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most telling number in her record is what happens when the ground is dry. On fast, dry ground, her runners win 2 from 12 races — a rate of 17%, or roughly 1 in every 6. Compare that to her overall figures and it becomes clear this is not a coincidence. When conditions suit, her horses perform at a level well above what her headline numbers suggest. It is the kind of pattern that a shrewd punter would quietly file away.

Her standout partnership is with Once Adaay, a horse she has run 28 times for 4 wins together. Four wins from 28 races is not a barnstorming record, but the sheer number of runs they have shared speaks to a long-term working relationship — Gansera-Leveque clearly knows this horse well and keeps finding the right opportunities for it. Meanwhile, jockey Charlie Bennett has been her most regular pilot, partnering her runners 17 times for 1 winner. That is a win rate of around 6%, or 1 in every 17 rides — again modest, but Bennett's continued presence in the yard suggests a relationship built on trust as much as results.

At this stage of her career, Gansera-Leveque looks like a trainer who is quietly improving year on year, getting the most out of a small string, and with a clear eye for placing horses on the right type of ground. The big wins have not come yet, but the foundations are being laid.
