Illogical Logic

The recent run of form shows promise, too. Two wins in the last six outings suggest Illogical Logic is hitting form now, particularly after a victory at Hexham just this week on 2 October 2026. That win came after a sixth-place finish and a near-miss second place, indicating the horse is willing and still competitive at eight years old. The partnership with Jack Tudor, its most frequent jockey, hasn't produced spectacular results—just one win from 15 rides together—but that may simply reflect the luck of the draw across a variety of tracks and conditions.

Trained by David Thompson at Bolam in County Durham, Illogical Logic competes mostly in Class 4 races, where it has yet to win from 11 attempts. This is telling: the horse performs best when racing at slightly lower levels, where normal ground conditions are more predictable and where its particular strengths can shine through. With the yard producing nine winners already this season, Thompson clearly has a stable firing on all cylinders. For a horse in the twilight years of its career, Illogical Logic remains useful and occasionally sharp. The ground forecast will always matter more than most when this one heads to the races.
