The pattern is striking: Saucats is fundamentally a horse for normal ground, having won 2 of his 16 races on such conditions—a 12% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record. Strip away the difficult days and the tracks that don't suit him, and you find a horse with genuine form. He struggles badly in the higher classes, with no wins from eight attempts at Class 5 level, meaning he operates best in lower-grade races where the competition is lighter. Trained by Joe Tickle at Stoodleigh in Devon, he races for a yard that has sent out 20 winners this season, so the support is solid. His regular partner, jockey Ben Godfrey, has not won aboard him from five rides together, though that may say more about circumstances than ability.
Recent form shows the unpredictability of a horse like this: a win sandwiched among places and out-of-the-money runs. With a race just a day ago, he is actively in work and still racing. For a five-year-old with a modest win rate, Newton Abbot on normal ground is where Saucats belongs—a decent, workmanlike horse who has found his level and occasionally rises to it.
