Pit Boss

Pit Boss is a 4-year-old with a straightforward profile: a modest horse who occasionally finds the winner's circle but mostly finishes just outside the prize money. In 30 races, he has won twice and placed 13 times, which works out to a 7% win rate—meaning he picks up a victory roughly once every 14 attempts. His last race was just a day ago, so he remains active on the circuit.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Both of Pit Boss's wins have come at Newcastle, his course specialist track. He won there on 4 February 2026 and again on 21 March, but that second victory was seven months ago now. Over 18 races at Newcastle, he has converted that pair of wins—a respectable return of 11%. The horse prefers normal ground conditions; on standard or good ground, he wins 2 from 19 races (also 11%), whereas faster or wetter going seems to blunt his chances. He runs best at the shorter distances between 5 and 6½ furlongs, winning 2 of 18 races at that range.

Pit Boss is trained by Liam Bailey at Middleham in North Yorkshire, a yard that has been productive this season with 17 winners. His regular rider is Billy Garritty, though their partnership hasn't yielded much spark—Garritty has partnered the horse 12 times for just the one win. Pit Boss typically competes in Class 6 races, the lower grades, and has managed only 1 win from 17 outings at that level.

His recent form tells the story of a horse hanging around the frame without quite delivering. In his last six races he has finished eighth, tenth, ninth, third, first, and third—solid enough without being reliable. He is the sort of horse that can surprise over a mile and a bit at Newcastle on the right day, but his inconsistency means betting on him requires patience and luck.
