The horse broke its duck at Southwell back in May 2026, then backed it up with a victory at Newton Abbot just this week, confirming that the first win was no fluke. The recent form reads 1-3-4-1-3 — two wins sandwiching a couple of placed efforts — which paints a picture of a horse that is competitive nearly every time it runs. Finishing in the first four in four of its five races is the kind of consistency that owners dream about.
Behind the horse stands Dan Skelton, one of the most productive trainers in Britain right now. Based at Alcester in Warwickshire, her yard has sent out 198 winners already this season — a staggering number that puts her among the elite handful of operations capable of firing in winners week after week. When a horse lands in a yard running at that kind of volume and quality, it tends to get the best of everything: expert preparation, smart race placement, and a team that knows how to get a horse to the track in form. Getmyfriend's two wins this season are a small but meaningful contribution to that total.
With only five races on the clock and a race as recently as yesterday, this is a horse whose story is really just beginning. The combination of a high win rate, a trainer at the very top of her game, and a horse young enough to keep improving makes Getmyfriend well worth keeping an eye on as the season continues.
