Jojo Rabbit

What makes Jojo Rabbit genuinely interesting is the partnership with jockey James Sullivan. When Sullivan is in the saddle, the horse's win rate jumps to 15%—5 wins from 34 races together—a meaningful difference that tells you the pair understand each other. The trainer Ruth Carr, based at Stillington in North Yorkshire, has clearly got the best out of this horse over the years. Carr's yard has been firing this season, sending out 56 winners, and Jojo Rabbit remains an active part of that operation despite its age.

The horse has hit a dry spell lately. Its last win came at Pontefract four months ago, and it has not found the winner's enclosure in its last six races, finishing 10th, 4th, 6th, 8th, 2nd, and 2nd. That second-place finish just a day ago shows it is still competing hard and clearly still capable of running well. The yard notes that Jojo Rabbit has improved on wetter, softer ground over time, and with entries being made at different tracks, there is still ambition to get another win on the board before the season moves on. For a horse of this age and experience, that matters—it is being aimed at opportunities rather than simply turned out to grass.
