Thank The Lord

What stands out most is his form on normal ground, where he has won twice from seven races — a 29 percent win rate that suggests he may have a preference for these conditions. His last victory came at Chelmsford on 7 December 2023, now more than two and a half years ago, and since then he has been unable to find the winner's enclosure despite being given plenty of chances. Over his last six races he has managed a best finish of sixth place, so he is trending downward. That said, he was back out just a day ago, so the yard continue to believe there is more to come.

Theodore Ladd has been his most effective partner, winning three of eleven races together at a 27 percent win rate — a notably better return than his overall career figures suggest. If Ladd rides him again, it would be worth noting as a potential positive indicator. At seven years old and with the mileage he has accumulated, Thank The Lord is approaching the veteran stage, and if he is still to taste another day in the sun it will likely come soon. For now he remains in the mix at the lower rungs of the sport, a genuine trier searching for a return to the winner's circle.
