Netywell

Netywell is a genuine wet-ground specialist who has figured out how to win where many horses struggle. The nine-year-old has won 4 races from 30 starts over a career that spans more than two years, but the real story lies in where those wins have come. On soft or muddy ground, Netywell lights up — winning 3 of its last 8 races in such conditions, a win rate of roughly 1 in 2.5 races. That is the kind of record that makes trainers Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, who run their yard at Milnathort in Perth and Kinross, look for heavy going the moment the rain starts falling. At Class 4 level, where Netywell typically races, it has won 3 of 14 starts, a 21% win rate that suggests the horse belongs at this grade.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Ayr is where Netywell has found the most consistent success, winning 2 of its 6 races there — a standout win rate for a course specialist. The last of those wins came on 13 February 2024, though it has been 26 months since then without another victory. Patrick Wadge, the jockey who has ridden Netywell most often, has piloted it to 2 wins from 18 races together. Recent form has been patchy; in the last six outings, Netywell managed a third-place finish but has otherwise come up short, with no wins in this stretch. At nine years old and having last raced 22 days ago, Netywell remains active, but the long gap since its last win at Ayr is a reminder that this is a horse riding on what it used to be rather than on current momentum. When the ground turns heavy and conditions favour its known strengths, Netywell is worth watching — but the wait for that elusive fifth win grows longer.
