Packetofbiscuits

Southwell has been Packetofbiscuits's track. The horse has won twice there from 10 races, a win rate that stands out when set against its overall record. The most recent of those wins came on 28 February 2026 — seven months back — suggesting the horse retains some affinity for the place even if it has not been able to capitalize since. Trained by John Mackie at Church Broughton in Derbyshire, Packetofbiscuits has been a regular partner of jockey Luke Morris, though that pairing has not produced a win across 12 rides together, a run of outs that may explain why the horse is getting other riders a chance in recent weeks.

There is a peculiar disconnect between Packetofbiscuits's first win, which came at Wolverhampton on 5 April 2025, and its last, seven months back at Southwell. In that interval, the horse has raced regularly but has not found the winner's circle — a dry spell that, combined with recent form and the lack of sparkle in the last six runs, suggests it is a useful but frustrating horse, one that can win when the conditions suit but whose windows of opportunity are closing. The Mackie yard is sending out winners this season, so the training is not in question. Whether Packetofbiscuits can find another winning race remains to be seen.
