Beauty Choice

Beauty Choice is a hard-working 9-year-old that has quietly accumulated five wins across a 50-race career, winning roughly one in every ten races. The horse raced just yesterday, which tells you it still has plenty of racing life left in it, and that's partly because it competes consistently at Class 5 level — the lower tiers of British racing where races come around more frequently than at the top. At this level, Beauty Choice actually performs respectably: it has won three of its 25 Class 5 races, a rate of 12%, which is noticeably better than its overall win rate.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The real thing worth noting about Beauty Choice is how long it has been since its last victory. That win came on 5 December 2024 at Chelmsford — nearly two years ago now. Since then, six consecutive races have yielded nothing but an unpromising run of results: ninth, tenth, thirteenth, and three finishes in mid-field. At nine years old, a horse that hasn't won in two years and is coming off a recent thirteenth-place finish could easily be winding down. Yet it keeps racing, which suggests either the yard believes there is still something left in the tank, or Beauty Choice has simply become one of those solid, dependable campaigners that earns its keep through consistency rather than victory.

Jockey Joanna Mason has ridden Beauty Choice 17 times and won three of those races — a respectable 18% win rate when partnered with her. That working relationship, if continued, might offer the horse its best realistic chance of returning to the winner's circle. The Easterby yard, based in Sheriff Hutton, North Yorkshire, has been productive this season with 55 winners, so Beauty Choice is trained by a stable that knows how to get horses to the line. Whether it can rediscover the form that brought that Chelmsford win is the question now hanging over this ageing but still active campaigner.
