Thankuappreciate

The horse has shown a real preference for certain conditions and distances. On normal ground he wins roughly 1 in every 5 races (2 wins from 10), and over short sprints he has managed 1 win from 6 attempts. More strikingly, he is a course specialist at Southwell, where he has won 2 of his 9 races — a 22 per cent win rate at one track that speaks to genuine comfort there. His last win came at Southwell in February 2026, seven months ago, suggesting he can still produce the goods when conditions and the right race come together.

Trainer Tony Carroll has saddled 136 winners this season from a yard based in Worcestershire, and Thankuappreciate has proved a stable partnership with jockey Zak Wheatley, who has ridden him to 3 wins from 25 races together — a 12 per cent win rate, better than the horse's overall record. The most recent six races have been hit and miss, mixing some modest placings with a fourth-place finish last time out just a day ago. At Class 4 level, where most of his racing has happened, he wins only 1 in every 20 races, which places him somewhere in the middle of the field — honest but limited. Still, a horse who keeps racing at six years old and who has found a course where he thrives remains worth watching.
