Betweenthesticks

The standout detail in this profile is Wolverhampton. Three wins from just seven races there works out to a remarkable 43% win rate — winning nearly 1 in every 2 visits to the track. For context, that is more than double its overall career average. Some horses simply suit certain tracks — the shape of the bends, the surface, the draw — and Betweenthesticks has clearly found its happy place under the Wolverhampton floodlights. Most recently, it won there just days ago, in April 2026, which tells you this horse is in form right now, not coasting on old glories.

Ruth Carr's yard at Stillington in North Yorkshire has been in fine fettle this season, sending out 62 winners — a genuinely productive campaign for any training operation. Betweenthesticks is a quiet contributor to that tally. Regular jockey Rose Dawes has partnered the horse 13 times, winning twice together, a combination that clearly knows each other's rhythms by now.

The horse also has a strong affinity with normal ground conditions, winning 4 of 12 races on a standard surface — a 33% win rate that is more than twice its overall average. Its first career win came at Chepstow back in September 2022, and it has been a steady, if unspectacular, earner ever since, competing mostly at Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter tier of the sport — where it has won 3 from 25. Recent form reads 1-7-3-9-2-2: one win, a couple of near-misses, a couple of poor days. That is the life of a horse like this — not flashy, but back in the winner's enclosure again just this week. You can set your watch by it at Wolverhampton.
