Blazing Court
Blazing Court is a eight-year-old horse that typifies the long, modest career of a lower-level racer — one win across 26 races tells you everything about where this horse sits in the racing pecking order. That single victory came at Worcester on 19 August 2024, and it has been chasing that result ever since without success. In the 26 months that have passed, Blazing Court has managed eight places but no wins, and with just a single triumph from 26 attempts, it wins roughly 1 in every 26 races.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse remains active and raced just a day ago, which says something for its durability if not its talent. Its recent form — a fifth, tenth, second, and seventh in the last four recorded runs — shows it is still capable of finishing in the money occasionally, but consistency and wins are two different things. When partnered with its regular jockey, Mr John Dixon, the record is particularly stark: they have ridden together nine times without a win. At Class 5 level, where Blazing Court typically competes, it has managed nothing from ten races, suggesting the horse may have found its ceiling. For a horse this age with this record, the sole win at Worcester remains the high point of its career.
