Sandy Thomson, based at Lambden in the Scottish Borders, has had a productive season — 17 winners sent out so far — and The Jad Factor is part of that story. Thomson's most regular jockey on this horse is Ryan Mania, who has partnered it 11 times and won twice together, a win rate of around 1 in every 6 rides (18%). That's a solid working relationship built over time, and those two wins include the horse's very first career victory at Newcastle back in March 2022.
The Jad Factor tends to compete at what are broadly the middle-to-lower levels of the sport, and it is at its best there — winning 4 of 15 races at that level, which works out at 27%, or roughly 1 in every 4 races. That is a genuinely good conversion rate and tells you this is a horse competing at a level where it can be competitive rather than simply making up numbers.
What makes the current picture particularly interesting is recent form. After a quiet patch earlier in the season, The Jad Factor won back-to-back races, including a win at Wetherby in December 2025. It has since had one run without troubling the scorer, but it raced just 15 days ago, so it is fit and active. Two wins from its last six races is exactly the kind of momentum that keeps a yard enthusiastic about a ten-year-old — an age when many horses have long since retired. The Jad Factor, it seems, still has things to say.
