From The Hip

The first breakthrough came at Chelmsford back in October 2025, but the most telling victory arrived at Windsor in June this year. That win four months ago hints at genuine potential, particularly in Class 5 company, where From The Hip has won twice from six races — a 33 percent success rate that towers above its overall average. The horse clearly suits certain tracks and conditions, and there is real class lurking here if the the yard can find the right opportunities.

Tyler Heard has partnered the horse seven times, winning twice, and there is a solid understanding building between rider and mount. Trainer Mark Usher, based at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, has a yard in good form this season with fourteen winners already. The recent comeback after four months away came just yesterday, with a tenth-place finish suggesting the horse may need a run to get back to sharpness. At only three years old and with obvious ability at the right level, From The Hip remains a horse with room to improve and interesting days ahead.
