Digger One
Digger One is a 5-year-old in the form of his life. After breaking through for his first win at Salisbury in late August, he has now won three races on the bounce — the most recent coming just days ago at Pontefract on 17 September. His overall record of 3 wins and 3 places from 8 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3 races — shows he is a genuine performer rather than a one-hit wonder.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse reveals a clear pattern when the ground conditions favour him and the distance extends. At 1m6f to 2m, Digger One has won 2 of his last 3 races, a 67% win rate that marks this as his sweet spot. Trainer Keiran Burke, based at Whitcombe in Dorset, appears to have worked out the formula. Burke's yard has sent out 12 winners this season, and Digger One's recent run suggests the trainer knows exactly where to pitch him for his best chance. The current winning streak means he will be a live prospect in upcoming races of similar distance and conditions — and if that form holds, there could be more to come from him yet.
