Kody B

There is a simplicity to Kody B's story so far: eight races, one win, and a whole lot of learning. At three years old, that is entirely normal — some horses take time to figure things out, and with a record of one win and two placed finishes from eight starts, this is a horse still writing its story rather than looking back on one.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That one win came at Pontefract on 20 October 2025, and it is worth noting where Kody B has shown the most promise. At Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, where horses are finding their feet — Kody B has won 1 from 3 races, which works out to winning roughly 1 in every 3 attempts at that grade. That is a genuinely solid return. It suggests the horse is competitive when pitched at the right level, even if results at higher grades have been harder to come by. The recent form figures of 6–4–12–1–7 show a horse that can hit the frame but has not quite strung it all together yet.

Behind the scenes, Kody B is trained by Craig Lidster, who operates out of Norton in North Yorkshire. Lidster's yard has sent out 20 winners this season, which paints the picture of a functioning, productive operation — not a superpower stable, but one that knows how to get horses ready to win. Kody B raced just one day ago, so this is a horse very much in the thick of its campaign right now, not one resting on its laurels.

The honest summary is this: Kody B is a young horse with one win to its name, but that win at the right level hints at capability. Whether it can build on that and become a more consistent performer is the question the next few months should start to answer.
