Divilabother
Divilabother is having the kind of purple patch that reminds you why racing can be thrilling. An eight-year-old with six career wins from 28 races—a respectable 21% win rate, or roughly one victory in every five attempts—the horse has caught fire recently, winning four of its last six races. More impressively, it has won twice already this season at Uttoxeter from just three visits, which marks it out as a genuine course specialist. Last week's victory there on 4 October suggests the horse is still very much in form and actively racing.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
That recent surge is the story here. Divilabother is a horse that knows Uttoxeter. Winning two races from three attempts at any track is the kind of record that makes a trainer sit up and take notice, and it explains why the horse keeps being sent back there. For a horse in the veteran stage of its career—eight years old is no spring chicken—to be winning regularly is genuinely noteworthy. Many horses of that age are retired or relegated to lower-level racing, yet Divilabother is clearly still competitive.
Tristan Davidson's yard at Irthington in Cumbria has sent out 21 winners this season, so the trainer is clearly getting results across the board. Harry Reed, the horse's most frequent jockey, has had limited success in the saddle together—just one win from six rides—but that matters less than the horse's own form, which is what counts. With four wins in the last half-dozen races and a win just yesterday, Divilabother remains an active and genuinely dangerous proposition on familiar ground.
