Commander of Life

Commander Of Life is a five-year-old that has proven most effective over shorter distances and at his home track of Doncaster, where he has won twice from four races — a win rate that puts him well above his overall record. At distances between five and six and a half furlongs, where the emphasis is on speed rather than stamina, he wins roughly one in every six races (1 win from 6), which again suggests he has a type of race that suits him. His most recent victory came at Doncaster seven weeks ago on 23 July, so he remains an active and reasonably fresh prospect.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

However, the bigger picture tells a more modest story. From 45 races across his career, Commander Of Life has won just five times — a win rate of roughly one in every nine races — and has picked up 19 places besides. In Class 4 company, where most of his racing takes place, he has won only twice from twenty attempts. His jockey Lewis Edmunds, who has ridden him in twelve races, has recorded just one win together, suggesting the partnership hasn't quite clicked consistently. Jessica Macey's Doncaster yard is in reasonable form this season with thirteen winners, but Commander Of Life remains a horse of limited firepower — the kind of mid-range racer that wins just often enough to keep the yard hopeful, but rarely bursts through to better things. His recent form shows only one win in his last six races, though he does run on regularly enough to pick up places. That last outing just a day ago means he's in regular action, grinding away at the level where he belongs.
