Kates Choice
Kates Choice remains an understated presence on the racecourse, a six-year-old who has found the step up in class a genuine struggle. That single victory came five months ago, and since then the form has been modest: a ninth-place finish most recently, sandwiched between some placing efforts. The numbers tell a story of a horse that shows up, occasionally runs into a place, but rarely gets close to winning again.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Nikki Evans at Pandy in Monmouths, Kates Choice has been ridden most often by Ben Poste, though that partnership—five races together without a win—has not produced the breakthrough either trainer or jockey would want. The yard itself is finding this season challenging, with only two winners sent out so far. At six years old, Kates Choice is still active and raced just yesterday, which speaks to the the yard' hope that another win might yet come. But with a win rate of 7 percent and five months between victories, finding that second win could prove a long wait.
