Land Girl's Luck

The most recent of those wins came at Bangor-on-Dee in June 2025, making it nearly eleven months since Land Girl's Luck last tasted victory. The last six runs tell a familiar story: a seventh, two seconds, a third, a fourth, and then nothing recorded in the most recent outing. Placings are nice, but they don't win prize money. At Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, a long way from the top — this horse wins roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races at that grade, with 2 wins from 11 attempts (18%). That is a respectable return at a competitive level, but the current run without a win will be a source of mild frustration for trainer Max Comley and his yard in Warminster, Wiltshire.

Comley has had a productive season regardless, sending out 18 winners — a healthy total that shows the yard is in decent form even if Land Girl's Luck hasn't been adding to the tally lately. Freddie Mitchell, the horse's most regular partner in the saddle, has ridden it in 7 of its races for just 1 win together — a 14% win rate, or roughly 1 in 7. That is not a combination that has consistently clicked, though Mitchell keeps getting the ride, which suggests the team see potential in the partnership.

What makes Land Girl's Luck worth watching is the consistency of its placing record. A horse that finishes in the top three across more than half of its career races is not one that simply turns up and goes through the motions — it is genuinely competitive most days, just waiting for things to fall right. It raced as recently as yesterday, which means it is fit, active, and very much in the mix. Whether a fourth win is coming soon is hard to say, but this is not a horse that has stopped trying.
