Call Me Betty

She got off the mark at Wolverhampton in June 2025 and has since added a win at Carlisle as recently as three weeks ago, which tells you she travels well and handles different tracks. Her most recent run was just yesterday, so this is a horse in the thick of a busy campaign. Most of her races have come at Class 5 level — not the glamour end of the sport, but the engine room of British racing where horses run regularly and form is hard-earned. She has won 2 of 9 races at that level, roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 attempts, which is a respectable return at any grade.

Normal ground suits her best. On a standard surface she has won 2 of 5 races — that is 40%, or 2 in every 5 runs, which is a standout number and worth keeping an eye on when conditions are right. Connor Beasley has been her most regular partner, riding her in 8 of her 13 races and winning on 2 of those occasions — a win rate of 25%, or roughly 1 in 4 rides together. That kind of established partnership matters; a jockey who knows a horse well can make the difference at the crucial moment.

Behind her is trainer Michael Dods, who operates out of Piercebridge in County Durham and has been in sharp form this season with 43 winners already on the board. A yard firing at that rate is one where horses arrive at the track ready to run, and Call Me Betty looks like a neat example of what Dods does well — keeping a consistent, uncomplicated horse ticking over and finding the right spots for her to win.
