Coastguard Station

His peak moment came in late September 2025, when he won at Market Rasen, but the intervening months have been a grind. He has not won in his last six races, though he has picked up a couple of minor placings in that stretch, most recently finishing eighth just a day ago. That is the reality of racing horses in their teens: the margins get tighter, the wins harder to come by. That said, he remains active and still lining up, which suggests his trainer Henry Oliver, based at Abberley in Worcestershire, still sees enough spark in him to keep him in work.

The jockey David Noonan has ridden him most often and has a respectable record aboard him—3 wins from 16 races together, a touch better than Coastguard Station's overall win rate—which hints that there may be a partnership that works. For a horse of his age and mileage, that consistency in the saddle can be the difference between getting another win and drifting into retirement. With his proven ability at Class 4 level and enough races still being run to offer opportunities, Coastguard Station is not done yet, even if the shine of that Market Rasen success has dimmed.
