Storm Call

The two wins tell their own story. The first came at Windsor in May 2024, a nice track with a distinctive loop shape that can suit certain types of horse. The second arrived at Redcar in October 2025 — and that one is the more recent data point worth holding onto, even if it was nine months ago now. What's notable is that Storm Call's best level appears to be Class 5 and below. In seven attempts at Class 4 — one step up in quality — the record reads zero wins from seven tries. That's a clean blank. It suggests Storm Call is very much a horse that finds its level, and that level is not the top of the ladder.

Billy Garritty has ridden Storm Call five times and won once, which works out at 20%, or roughly 1 in every 5 rides together — better than Storm Call's overall career win rate of 10%, which is closer to 1 win in every 10 races. That's an interesting detail, suggesting the partnership is at least heading in the right direction.

Recent form, read from the last six races most recent first, goes 6-6-4-5-8-1. The sole bright spot is that "1" at the far end — the Redcar win — while everything since has been mid-pack or worse. Storm Call raced just one day ago, so this is a horse very much in active campaign. Whether another win is close depends on finding the right spot. For the Easterbys, with a busy and productive season behind them, slotting Storm Call into a race it can win is exactly the kind of puzzle yards like theirs are built to solve.
