Rhythm N Hooves

What stands out is his partnership with jockey Hollie Doyle. She has ridden him 10 times and won on him 4 occasions — a 40 per cent success rate that is markedly better than his career average. That kind of difference suggests real chemistry between horse and rider; Doyle clearly knows how to get the best out of him. He broke his duck at Newcastle on 31 March 2023 and reached his peak when winning a top-level Class 2 race at Ascot on 23 June that year. That remains a genuine highlight of his career, one of those days when everything came together.

Robert Cowell's Newmarket yard has sent out 24 winners this season, and Rhythm N Hooves contributes to that tally. The horse runs best over sprint distances — under five furlongs — where he has won 2 of 6 races, a 33 per cent win rate that nearly doubles his overall average. He is much less effective in the higher echelons of racing, winning only 1 of 17 Class 2 attempts, which suggests he is most comfortable in slightly lower company where he can use his speed to better effect. His most recent victory came just this week at Newbury on 15 August 2026, a timely reminder that at six years old he still has race-winning form in him. With last raced just a day ago, he remains an active contender in the yard's plans.
