Little Ted

The most intriguing detail in his record is Musselburgh. He's won 2 of just 4 races there — that's half his visits ending in victory, at a track where most horses are lucky to win once in a dozen attempts. For context, his overall record is 6 wins from 65 races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 11. At Musselburgh, he's winning 1 in 2. That kind of dominance at a specific track isn't coincidence — some horses simply take to a circuit, and Little Ted clearly takes to that one.

His most regular partner is David Allan, who has ridden him 21 times — nearly a third of his entire career. Together they've won twice, winning roughly 1 in every 10 races as a combination. That's not a headline number, but it speaks to a consistent working relationship. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton has been in tremendous form this season, sending out 126 winners, so Little Ted is part of a genuinely busy and successful operation even if he isn't the star of the show.

The honest reality right now is that his recent form is patchy. His last six finishes — fifth, fifth, tenth, ninth, sixth, twelfth — tell a story of a horse hovering around the lower reaches of the field rather than threatening the front. He hasn't won since Leicester on 26 June 2025, nearly eleven months ago. That said, he raced just yesterday, which means the team clearly still believe he has something to offer. At Class 6, where he does his best work, a return to form is never out of the question — and if the race comes up at Musselburgh, you'd be paying closer attention than his recent results alone might suggest.
