Tickets
Tickets is a seven-year-old who has won 5 of his 42 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 starts. That's not spectacular, but it masks something more interesting: when he steps down to Class 6 races, the level at which he typically competes, he wins about 1 in every 4 (4 wins from 17 races). At that tier, he is a genuinely useful horse. The problem is that his form has gone quiet. His last win came at Newcastle on 19 February, seven months ago, and his most recent six races tell a story of decline — he finished sixth, then second, fifth, fourth, second, and sixth again. That second-place finish shows he can still get close to the winning post, but he has not found his way back to the winner's circle since early spring.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Andrew Mullen is his regular jockey, having ridden him 20 times and won twice together — a 10% win rate that suggests their partnership works well enough, though nothing more. The horse is trained by Patrick Neville at Coverham in North Yorkshire, a yard that has had a productive season with 28 winners to its name so far. Tickets was last seen racing just a day ago, so he remains an active runner, but the recent pattern suggests he may be reaching the point where his best days are behind him. At seven years old, with a long career already run, there is still time for him to rediscover what made him useful at Class 6 level — but the evidence of the last six months indicates that may be becoming harder to find.
