The really striking number is at Class 4 level — one step below the biggest races in Britain, but still competitive, proper racing. At that level, Stans The Man has won 7 from 20 races, which works out at 35%, or better than 1 in every 3. That's not just a horse turning up and making the numbers; that's a horse who actually belongs at that level and knows how to win there.
The partnership with jockey Ben Godfrey is worth noting. In 17 races together, they've won 5 times — a win rate of 29%, or nearly 1 in every 3 rides. That's meaningfully better than Stans The Man's overall average, which suggests the horse and rider simply get on well. When Godfrey climbs aboard, something clicks.
Stans The Man is trained by Ella Pickard, based in Timberscombe, Somerset — a small yard that has sent out 5 winners already this season. That's a solid return for an operation of that size, and Stans The Man has been a central part of what makes the yard tick. The horse's most recent win came at Wincanton in March 2026, just three months ago, and recent form reads 5-3-2-1 over the last four completed runs — meaning this horse has been finishing closer and closer to the front. That's a form line that points in exactly the right direction.
Having first won back in October 2022 at Chepstow, Stans The Man has now been a consistent winner across three and a half seasons. Still racing, still competitive, and trending the right way — at nine years old, this horse is showing absolutely no signs of being done.
