Hello Sweety

What makes Hello Sweety genuinely interesting is that, despite all the drama, she actually wins races. From 16 career races, she has won 3 and placed 7 more times — that is a win in roughly 1 in every 5 outings (19%), which is a perfectly respectable record. More to the point, she has won 2 of her last 6 races, with a recent run of form that reads 3rd, 2nd, 1st, 6th, 5th, 1st — streaky, inconsistent, very much her own thing. Her first career win came at Fakenham on 21 December 2025, and she has since turned that track into something of a personal fiefdom: 3 wins from just 5 races there, which is an extraordinary hit rate of 60%. Edmunds puts it plainly — she likes to do things her way, and Fakenham's tight, quirky layout simply suits her down to the ground. Her most recent win came at Fakenham seven weeks ago.

The Hammond partnership is clearly central to her success. Together they have won 3 of their 9 races, meaning Hammond has been aboard for every single one of her career victories. That is a win rate of 33% — roughly 1 in every 3 rides together — which is a remarkable number. A wind operation and a change in riding tactics appear to have been the turning point in unlocking her best form. She also does her best work over longer distances of two miles or more, winning 3 of her 9 races at that trip.

Edmunds is candid that life is about to get harder. With a rating of 102, she will face stiffer competition going forward, but he has his eye on a race at Stratford, another tight track that could play to her strengths. "Good luck to anybody trying," he adds — which, coming from her own trainer, might be the most affectionate warning in racing.
