Bread And Butter

What makes the record more interesting is how late the winning started. That first career victory didn't come until November 2024 at Hereford, which means Bread And Butter spent a long time waiting for its moment. The second win followed just over a month later at Huntingdon in December 2024 — a decent little purple patch for a horse of this age. Since then, though, the wins have dried up. The last six races have brought an eighth, a fourth, a non-finish, another eighth, a third and an eighth — consistent enough to suggest the horse is still trying, but not quite finding the finishing kick.

Lewis Saunders is clearly the man to be on board. In 10 races together, he's ridden Bread And Butter to all 3 of its wins — a win rate of 30%, which is genuinely impressive and suggests the pair have a real understanding. That's 3 wins from 10 rides, compared to 0 wins from the 32 races with anyone else in the saddle. That stat alone would make any trainer think twice before booking a different jockey.

Normal conditions suit this horse best, with 2 wins from 15 races on standard ground — a 13% win rate that comfortably outperforms its overall average. Bread And Butter competes mainly at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle of the racing ladder — not the glamour end, but not the bottom rung either. Two wins from 10 races at that level, a 20% win rate, is actually a respectable return and suggests the horse is pitched at roughly the right grade. At 11 years old and still racing, the goal now is simple: find the right race, get Lewis Saunders in the saddle, and hope the ground comes up good.
