Kit's Coty

Most of Kit's Coty's racing life has been spent at Class 4 level, which is mid-tier competition in the British racing calendar — not the showpiece events, but races with genuine prize money and proper competition. At that level, the record sharpens up: 2 wins from 10 races, a 20% win rate, meaning it wins roughly 1 in every 5 at the grade it is most suited to. That is a meaningful distinction. A horse that finds its right level and consistently performs there is worth knowing about.

Tom Bellamy has been the regular partner, taking the ride in 7 of Kit's Coty's 15 races. Together they have won once — at Ludlow in October 2025, which remains the horse's most recent victory, coming around five months ago. The partnership clicks often enough: Bellamy clearly knows this horse's rhythms. That Ludlow win keeps the record ticking along and confirms Kit's Coty can still get the job done at eight years old, an age when some horses begin to fade.

The trainer is Emma Lavelle, whose yard in Ogbourne Maizey, Wiltshire has sent out 41 winners this season alone — a strong, productive operation by any measure. Lavelle is known for placing horses carefully and getting the best from them over time, and Kit's Coty's record reflects that patient approach. The horse first won at Hereford in January 2024, and has kept racing consistently since. With a race recorded just one day ago, this is very much a horse still in the thick of things — not winding down, but actively campaigning.
