Sixcor

Sixcor is trained by Linda Perratt at East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire, a yard that has sent out 19 winners already this season — a healthy output that suggests a well-run operation with horses fit and ready to compete. Perratt clearly knows how to place Sixcor to best effect. The horse has contested Class 6 races — the entry-level tier of British racing — for the vast majority of its career, and that is where it has done all of its winning: 8 wins from 59 races at that level, a win rate of 14%, or roughly 1 in every 7 races. When the horse is in the right grade, it becomes a genuine threat.

Conditions matter too. Put Sixcor on slightly soft ground and the numbers sharpen considerably — 2 wins from just 10 races on that surface, a 20% win rate, meaning it has won 1 in every 5 races when the ground has a bit of give. That is double its overall rate and worth noting any time rain arrives before a race day. The horse broke its career duck at Ayr back in May 2022, and its most recent win came at Hamilton Park in July 2025, a track that sits just a short drive from Perratt's base — familiar territory for the whole team.

The regular partnership with jockey Harry Russell has produced 2 wins from 12 races together, a 17% win rate that comfortably beats the horse's career average. One in every six rides together has ended in a winner, which for this level of racing is a solid return.

The recent form — finishing third, fifth, seventh, third, fifth, and ninth across the last six races — shows a horse that has not been winning but has not been disgraced either. It is competitive without quite getting over the line. At eight years old, with 81 races under its belt and the team clearly still finding spots for it to run, Sixcor is exactly the kind of tough, honest racehorse that keeps smaller yards ticking over.
