Lady Jago

The most striking thing about her record is how she performs at specific tracks. At Warwick she has won 2 of just 4 races, which is a remarkable 50% — half the time she turns up there, she leaves with the prize. That kind of course form is not a coincidence; it suggests the track's layout and ground suits her particularly well. Her first career win came at Warwick in October 2024, and the fact that she went back and did it again points to a horse that thrives in a specific environment. Donald McCain noted after that first win that she did it very well, and felt she had already shown enough to suggest she could continue to make her mark when dropped into the right races.

She goes well on normal ground — 4 wins from 15 races in those conditions, which works out at 27%, or better than 1 in 4. That is noticeably better than her overall record, and it is worth knowing because it means her performance is genuinely weather-dependent. Put her on a wet or muddy track and the form drops away sharply.

Harry Skelton has been her regular partner, riding her in 13 of her 25 races and winning twice together. That 15% win rate — roughly 1 in every 6 rides — mirrors her overall career average, so there is no particular spark or dip when the pair link up. Her most recent win came at Ludlow in May 2025 and she has gone six races since without winning, though her last two finishes — both second places — suggest she is competitive and in decent nick. She raced just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in the thick of things.
