Bythesametoken

The interesting detail here is what soft ground does for him. On wet or muddy tracks, Bythesametoken comes alive—he has won 2 of his 7 races on such surfaces, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3.5 races. That is a significant edge and suggests he is a horse who thrives when the going gets heavy. His last win came at Listowel on 21 September 2025, but he has since gone thirteen months without another success. His recent form shows he is still competitive: a fourth place, two fourth-place finishes within his last six outings, suggesting he regularly gets close. However, he has struggled against top-class opposition; in his handful of attempts at Class 1 or 2 standard, he has won nothing from four races. Bythesametoken is a horse for softer ground and lower-class contests, where he can run to his strengths rather than be outpaced by the elite. At this stage of his career, on the right track when conditions suit, he remains capable of winning—if the rain comes.
