Concert Boy

What makes Concert Boy genuinely interesting is his dominance at Newcastle. He has won 5 of his 38 races at that track—a success rate of roughly 1 win every 8 runs there—which amounts to a course specialist in the truest sense. That last victory came on 9 December 2025, and although he has now gone eight months without a win, his recent form is not a complete washout: a fourth place and then a run of mid-field finishes suggests he remains engaged. He clearly prefers normal ground conditions, winning 5 times from 44 races on standard going, compared to his overall record.

Trainer Katie Scott, based in the Scottish Borders, picked him up for around £7,000 last March and kept him running hard—27 times in that first year alone. The investment paid off handsomely. Concert Boy accumulated £52,000 in prize money and finished in the top 20 of the All-Weather Horse of the Year bonus scheme, a remarkable return on a modest purchase. Scott's plan this year is to send him back to the all-weather and run him three times a month, chasing the bonus again. He typically competes in Class 6 races, where he has won 4 of his 45 starts. If Concert Boy can string together a few more visits to Newcastle or another track where he fits, there is every reason to think he will get back in the winner's circle soon.
