Jet Of Magic

The most striking thing about Jet Of Magic is what happens when the ground gets heavy and wet. In five races on that kind of soft, rain-soaked ground, this horse has won twice — a 40% win rate, meaning it wins 2 in every 5 times conditions turn against most rivals. That is a remarkable number and suggests Jet Of Magic genuinely thrives when others are struggling through the mud. Keep an eye on the weather forecast.

At Class 4 level — the bread and butter of its career — the record reads 3 wins from 9 races (33%), which is a very healthy return. Winning 1 in every 3 races at your natural level is exactly what a consistent, reliable competitor looks like. Sam Twiston-Davies, who rides this horse more than anyone else, has taken the partnership to victory once from five attempts together, a 1-in-5 win rate that is solidly in line with the overall record.

The honest part of the picture is that Jet Of Magic has not won in its last six races, with the most recent victory now standing 37 months ago at Uttoxeter. For a horse now aged ten, that gap matters — it raises the question of whether that Class 2 win was the high-water mark of a career now in its later chapter. Recent form shows a third place as the best result in the current run, which keeps hope alive without setting pulses racing. Having raced just yesterday, the horse is clearly still active and being placed in competition, and if wet ground arrives and the right race comes along, the record says do not entirely write it off.
