Rocking Ends

The real story lies in where Rocking Ends wins. When the horse drops into Class 4 company, it becomes a different proposition entirely, recording six wins from just sixteen races at that level—a win rate of better than one in three. That is a significant jump from the overall record and suggests the horse performs decisively when asked to compete against horses in its true grade. William Carson, the regular jockey, has won three times from sixteen rides aboard the horse, a 19% return that mirrors the horse's general level.

Windsor has proven to be a particularly good hunting ground, with two wins from just four races at the track—a success rate of 50%—making it a course worth noting for future campaigns. Tom Clover's yard is in decent form this season with twenty-three winners to its name, so Rocking Ends arrives at each race with a trainer in steady momentum. The horse is active and currently racing; whether it can add a tenth win soon will depend on the quality of the opposition it faces and whether Carson gets another mount in the saddle.
