Suzette

Recent form tells the story of a horse treading water. Over the last six races, Suzette has finished sixth, eighth, eleventh, seventh, third, and fifth—nothing disastrous, but nothing to suggest an imminent breakthrough either. That third-place finish three runs back is the closest Suzette has come to winning since August 2024, which underlines just how hard it has been to get back to the winner's enclosure. When the horse does race at its preferred distance of seven furlongs to a mile, it shows marginally better form—one win from twelve attempts—but even at the sweet spot, Suzette wins roughly one in every twelve races, a figure that won't excite many punters.

Harry Russell, Suzette's most regular partner, has ridden the horse nine times and enjoyed one win together, a win rate of roughly one in nine. The horse is trained by the Norton-based team of Tony Coyle and Kaine Wood, a yard that has had a productive season with twelve winners to their name. For a horse sitting below the radar at Class 5 level, Suzette remains a working member of a competitive stable, but the absence of a win in more than two years suggests it may be approaching the end of a racing life with little fanfare.
