Lexington Blitz
Lexington Blitz has become a genuine specialist at Catterick Bridge, a track where he has won twice from just three races—a remarkable win rate that shows there is something about this particular course that simply suits him. His latest success came just this week in a Class 2 race on 17 October, adding to a career that spans 21 races with 5 wins overall. At four years old, the horse is still improving, according to his trainer
Robert Cowell, who noted that he particularly thrives at tracks others find difficult, the kind of unusual courses where horses polarise their form. Cowell has built a strong season with 24 winners from his Newmarket yard, and Lexington Blitz represents the kind of consistent, workmanlike performer that keeps a stable ticking over.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Lexington Blitz interesting is less about raw winning numbers—a 24% win rate across 21 races—and more about consistency and trajectory. In his last six races, he has won twice, finished top 3 a further three times, and had just one poor run. That pattern suggests a horse settling into his level and learning his craft. At Class 2, he has won 1 from 5, which shows he is competitive in the top races without being dominant, but Cowell believes he is still improving. The trainer credited a gelding operation and a winter break with bringing about real improvement, and recent performances back that up. Lexington Blitz has clearly benefited from the time away and now appears a genuine handful on his favoured tracks, a horse worth watching whenever he lines up at Catterick or anywhere else where he can impose his rhythm.
