Mudamer

That level is Class 4, one step below the top tier of everyday racing, where Mudamer has won 2 of 18 races — again, about 1 in 9. It is the kind of horse that places often enough to stay competitive (16 times in the frame across its career) without regularly getting its nose in front. The first win came at Killarney back in August 2022, and the most recent was at Catterick Bridge in October 2025 — nine months ago now, with six races since then producing nothing better than a third place.

That recent form reads 3-6-11-3-3-7, meaning a couple of decent efforts mixed in with some quieter days. The horse is clearly still trying — those two third-place finishes suggest it is not running badly — but it has not found a way to win since that Catterick success. Whether it returns to Catterick Bridge, the one track where it has looked a different animal entirely, could be the most interesting question around Mudamer right now.

The horse is trained by Geoffrey Harker out of Thirkleby in North Yorkshire, a yard that has sent out 5 winners this season, suggesting things are ticking along. Jockey Sam James has been the regular partner, riding Mudamer in 11 of its races for 1 win together — about 1 in 11 — which is a workmanlike rather than electric combination. Mudamer raced just yesterday, so it is very much in the thick of an active campaign. For anyone watching it run, the story to follow is simple: put it back at Catterick Bridge and suddenly the numbers look a whole lot more interesting.
