1/1024

Explanation:

The probability of Ashley winning a race is 25%, which is 1/4.

As each race is individually different and they are not correlated (i.e. result of one race does not affect the other), each race, there is 1/4 probability that Ashley wins.

The probability that Ashley wins the next five races
=(1/4)^5
=1/1024
