How competitive is the Jockey Club Rose Bowl market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2023 when the race had an over-round of 108%. The race in 2012 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 120%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Jockey Club Rose Bowl, the over-round has been 113%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £113 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2026 Jockey Club Rose Bowl Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the Jockey Club Rose Bowl Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Jockey Club Rose Bowl races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Times Up (3:18.64) in 2011
  2. Nayef Road (3:19.77) in 2021
  3. Caucus (3:23.04) in 2012

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Jockey Club Rose Bowl next time out, then you would have backed a total of 4 winners. Backing all 18 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +2.64. Whilst we wait for the 2026 Jockey Club Rose Bowl, remember you can get daily racing predictions from the expert tipsters on the racing predictions page.

When looking over the past 20 renewals, a time of 3:18.64 was set by Times Up in 2011, trained by John Dunlop and ridden by Eddie Ahern, which is the quickest time over that period. The slowest winning time was set in 2007 when DistinctionI won in a time of 3:39.72 for trainer Sir Michael Stoute, who booked Ryan Moore in the saddle.

What the expert says...
Two of the last four winners came from the Lonsdale Cup: Nate The Great (2022) finished 6th before winning this, and then Al Nayyir (2024) was runner-up before winning this. The 2013 winner Caucus also came from that race.
