On The Platform
On The Platform is a 10-year-old with the kind of racing record that speaks to genuine grit—one win and nine places from 20 races is the resume of a horse that shows up, tries hard, and only occasionally gets it right. That single victory came at Bangor-on-Dee on 18 May 2024, and it remains his only win in nearly two and a half years. Since then he has been placed six times (finishing in the first three) from his last six races, including a second just last month, which shows he is still competitive and still capable of running well. He is still racing hard at the age of 10.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Most of his racing happens in Class 5—the lower tiers of British racing—where he has won 1 of 17 races, a win rate of roughly 6%. Lee Edwards, his main jockey, has ridden him 15 times and recorded that single victory between them, a partnership that tells you both have been trying to find the formula for a while. What makes On The Platform interesting is not flashy success but consistency: a horse that has earned his place in the racing game through longevity and the occasional moment of glory. He is still active, still racing, still fighting for wins at an age when many horses have long since retired. That is a story worth paying attention to.
