Datstheholyallofit

Patrick Neville's yard at Coverham in North Yorkshire has clearly found the formula with this horse. Neville sent out 28 winners this season, and Datstheholyallofit is one of the reasons why. The horse first broke through in the winner's circle at Kelso back in May, and since then has shown consistent form. Last week's victory at Perth followed a second place and a third place in the two races before that — the kind of pattern that suggests this is a horse building momentum rather than trailing off.

What really stands out is the consistency of recent form. In its last six races, the sequence reads: first, first, third, second, first, fourth. That's not just about winning; it's about staying competitive week after week. Horses that rack up places alongside wins tend to race more often and handle the demands of back-to-back competitions better than one-dimensional sprinters. For a yard like Neville's, that kind of durability is gold dust — it means entries pay for themselves, and prize money keeps coming in.

With one race run in the last day, Datstheholyallofit is clearly an active, campaigned horse rather than a special-occasion runner. At five years old, in a yard firing on all cylinders, this is a horse in the sweet spot: experienced enough to know how to race, proven enough to be trusted in decent company, and hot enough right now to make its the yard' racing life a good deal simpler.
