Catchintsavo

The horse only got started winning in January 2026, taking its first race at Ludlow, but it has made up for lost time in spectacular fashion. Since then it has won 3 of its last 6 races, with a form line of 2-1-1-3-1-2 — only once finishing outside the top two, and that was a third place. The most recent victory came at Plumpton on 9 March, just five weeks ago, and with a race as recently as yesterday, this horse is bang in form and showing no signs of slowing down.

One of the clearest patterns in Catchintsavo's record is how much it thrives on soft, wet ground. In those conditions it has won 3 from 6 races — a 50% win rate, or one win every two starts. That is the kind of figure that makes any trainer's eyes light up when the forecast turns grey. Anthony Honeyball, who operates out of Mosterton in Dorset, clearly knows exactly what this horse needs and when to run it. His yard has sent out 51 winners this season, so it is not a small operation, and a horse with Catchintsavo's consistency fits right into a team that knows how to win races.

The one area where the horse has yet to crack the code is at Class 2 level — the top tier of races it has attempted — where it has run three times without winning. That is not a failure, it is an invitation. The raw numbers say it belongs in those races; the wins just haven't come yet. Given what this horse has done every time it has stepped onto wet ground, it only needs the right conditions and the right day to change that.
