Jack The Savage
Jack The Savage is the sort of horse that makes a trainer's job genuinely interesting — not a star, but a genuine battler who keeps finding his way into the money. At nine years old, he has raced 39 times and won just four of them, but with 13 places to his name he is far from wasting anyone's time. That works out to roughly one win in every ten races, which for a horse competing mostly at Class 5 level is honest work. What catches the eye is where he wins: at Class 5 tracks, he has managed three wins from 18 races — a 17% win rate — suggesting he is a horse who genuinely belongs in those lower-grade contests and usually comes out on the right side of them.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His most recent victory came at Fontwell Park on 10 June 2026, three months ago, which means he is still active and still dangerous. His form over the last six races tells you he is a horse capable of hitting the places consistently — five fifth-place finishes and two fourth-place efforts in his last six outings, with that win mixed in the middle of June. Only yesterday he was back on the track, which shows Laura Horsfall, his trainer at Towcester in Northants, still believes he has something to offer. The yard has sent out five winners this season, which is modest but solid.
There is a curious note in his recent record: Kevin Brogan, his most regular jockey, has ridden him six times without a single win. That is a partnership that has not quite clicked, and it raises the question of whether Jack The Savage might find more luck with a different rider — one of those small adjustments that can tip a consistent horse from nearly-ran into occasional winner.
