Justmyluck

That sole victory arrived at Newcastle on 10 January 2026, and it remains the high point of a career that has been a little stop-start since. The recent run of form — 5th, 8th, 11th, 5th, 1st, 3rd reading from most recent back — shows a horse that found its moment, then drifted back into the pack. The 11th-place finish is the blot, but sandwiching it with a couple of fifth-place efforts and a third suggests this is not a horse falling apart, just one searching for its best again. Racing just one day ago, Justmyluck is clearly an active campaigner right now.

One area worth watching is the level at which the horse is competing. At Class 4 — which is mid-table in the British racing structure — Justmyluck has raced three times without a win. The one victory came at a different level, which raises the question of whether the horse is simply being asked to mix it with slightly better company than it can consistently handle. Finding the right spot in the right race matters enormously, and that is where the trainer earns their money.

That trainer is Linda Perratt, based in East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire — a yard a long way from the major southern training centres, which makes its 19 winners this season genuinely impressive. Running a successful yard from Scotland requires horses to travel, race at different tracks in different conditions, and still perform. Nineteen winners speaks to a stable that knows what it is doing, and a trainer who picks her moments well. If Perratt can find Justmyluck a race at the right level and in the right conditions, a second career win is far from out of reach for a horse that has already shown it knows how to get to the front.
