Keep Me Stable

The most interesting number on Keep Me Stable's record is the Musselburgh one. Three wins from 12 races at that Scottish track might not sound extraordinary, but it means the horse has won 1 in every 4 times it has turned up there — comfortably better than anywhere else. Musselburgh is a tight, flat oval just east of Edinburgh, and some horses simply take to a track's rhythm in a way that's hard to explain but impossible to ignore. This is one of them. The most recent of those Musselburgh wins came in July 2025, so the track record is very fresh.

The recent form is genuinely eye-catching. Three wins from the last six races — including back-to-back victories — suggests a horse in the form of its life right now. The two eleventh-place finishes at the start of that sequence put it in context: this isn't a horse that wins constantly, but when it clicks, it clusters its wins together. It raced just yesterday, which means it is being kept busy while the confidence is high.

Linda Perratt trains from East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire, and her yard has sent out 19 winners already this season — a yard clearly operating well. Tommie Jakes has ridden Keep Me Stable in 19 of its races and won on it 4 times, a win rate of around 1 in 5 together. That's a meaningful partnership, and it's no coincidence that the horse seems to perform with more consistency when a familiar pair of hands is in the saddle.

The conditions tell a clear story too. On normal ground, Keep Me Stable wins 4 times from 13 attempts — nearly 1 in 3. Switch to wet or dry extremes and the numbers drop away sharply. At around a mile and a quarter, it wins roughly 1 in 3.5 races. This is a horse with a very specific sweet spot: Musselburgh, Tommie Jakes, normal ground, around that distance. When all those boxes are ticked, it's well worth a second look.
