What is the longest winning streak in horse racing?

In British and Irish results since 1990 the longest run is 19, by Altior (IRE) over jumps. On the Flat the record is 14, by Frankel (GB).

Which horses retired unbeaten?

The unbeaten career tables list horses that won every British or Irish race they ran in, five runs or more, led by Frankel (GB) on the Flat.

Which horses are on long winning runs now?

Scandinavia (USA) leads the current sequences on 8. The winning streaks page lists every horse on three wins or more.

What ends a winning sequence?

Any defeat ends a sequence, including falling, unseating or pulling up. Runs abroad are not in the data, so they neither break nor extend a sequence here.

Questions people ask

Who has the longest winning sequence over jumps?

Altior (IRE) won 19 British and Irish jumps races in a row, the longest sequence in results since 1990. The last win in the run came on 27 April 2019.

What is the longest winning run on the Flat?

Frankel (GB) won 14 in a row, the longest British and Irish Flat sequence since 1990. The last win in the run came on 20 October 2012.

Do Flat and jumps wins count together?

No. The main tables keep Flat and jumps sequences apart, and a separate table lists runs that span both codes.

Are runs abroad counted?

No. Only British and Irish results are in the data, so a defeat or a win overseas does not change the sequences on this page.

How often is this page updated?

The tables refresh after every racing day. A horse joins the list the day after its fifth win in a row.
