Call Me Betty

What stands out is her form with Connor Beasley in the saddle. The jockey has ridden her eight times and won twice—a 25 percent win rate that is notably better than her overall record. That kind of partnership often develops when a rider and horse understand each other, and Beasley seems to get the best out of her. She also prefers normal ground conditions, winning at a third of the time (2 wins from 6 races) when the track is neither too firm nor too soft—useful information for any race planner.

Call Me Betty competes mainly at Class 5 level, which is the lower tier of jump racing, and has won twice from nine starts at that grade. Her recent form, however, suggests she may be going through a quieter spell. Her last six races show a 10th-place finish most recently, followed by a 9th, 3rd, 7th, 9th, and that May victory. She finished in the top 3 once in those six outings, which is a dip from her best form. Trained by Michael Dods at Piercebridge in County Durham—a yard that has already sent out 43 winners this season—she raced just a day ago and remains actively campaigned. There is time yet for her to add to her tally.
