Based at Jedd O'Keeffe's Coverham yard in North Yorkshire, Saisons d'Or usually races in Class 5 events, the bread-and-butter tier where most horses in Britain compete. In that company, it wins about one in twelve times — a win rate of 8 per cent across 25 attempts. More encouraging is its record at Catterick Bridge, where it has found the track to its liking and won 2 of its 6 races there. That kind of course specialist status, however modest, often matters to a trainer trying to pick the right spot for a horse to land a race.
The partnership with Jack Garritty has been less fruitful. The pair has been together 41 times, and Garritty has guided the horse to just three wins — a 7 per cent win rate that sits below Saisons d'Or's overall average. Still, the horse has stayed active into its veteran years, which speaks well for its soundness and constitution. It raced just a day ago and last tasted success at Southwell on 28 April, winning three months back. Recent form has been a mixed bag — one fifth-place finish in its last six races, otherwise a string of seventh and sixth-place efforts — but at this level, for a horse of this age and ability, staying competitive and raceable is often achievement enough.
