The Good Biscuit

There is something quietly reliable about The Good Biscuit. The five-year-old trained by Ruth Carr at her yard in Stillington, North Yorkshire, has built a solid career record of 5 wins and 11 places from 30 races — that is a win roughly once in every 6 races, with a place in more than half his starts overall. He is no superstar, but at Class 4 level he is a consistent, honest competitor, and right now he looks to be in the form of his life.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most striking thing about his recent record is how it ends. After finishing third, second, and second in the middle of last season, he rounded off 2025 by winning his final two races back-to-back, the last of them at Catterick Bridge in October. Carr was clearly pleased heading into this season too — after he ran third on his seasonal reappearance, she described him as capable at his current level and noted that he looks like continuing where he left off. That is quiet trainer-speak for genuine optimism, and given he raced just yesterday, the horse is bang in the middle of an active campaign.

One thing that stands out in his stats is how well he handles wet or muddy ground — he has won 2 of just 5 races in those conditions, which is a 40% win rate and genuinely impressive. Dry, fast ground suits him too: 2 wins from 6 races at 33%. In other words, the ground rarely seems to stop him, though Carr has noted he prefers some give underfoot. His most regular jockey is Joanna Mason, who has partnered him to 2 wins from 9 races together — winning roughly 1 in every 4 rides — a productive combination.

His first win came at Leicester in July 2023, and the trainer at the time spoke about a horse who had taken a couple of runs to find his feet but who they always believed in. That early confidence has proved well-founded. Five wins from 30 races across a career at this level tells you he is not easy to place, but he keeps turning up, keeps running well, and keeps finding the line when conditions fall right. For a horse operating at Class 4, that is exactly what you want.
