The yard of Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, based near Perth, has sent out 49 winners this season and clearly knows how to place Spit Spot where it can compete. The horse has a pronounced preference for normal ground conditions — it wins nearly 1 in every 3 races on standard going (2 wins from 7), compared to its overall win rate. Chelmsford has proved to be its most rewarding track, with 2 wins from just 6 races there. Patrick Wadge has ridden Spit Spot most often and boasts a better win rate together (18%, or 2 wins from 11) than the horse manages overall, suggesting there may be value in that partnership.
With its last win coming in October 2025 at Perth, Spit Spot is overdue and clearly needs a return to form. At seven years old and still actively racing — it ran just a day ago — the horse remains competitive in its grade, but the 11-month drought is a concern. It will need the right conditions and the right track to remind the yard why it won those races in the first place.
