Transmission

The most recent of those wins came at Musselburgh on 1 February 2026 — just eight weeks ago — and it told you something about what Transmission is capable of when the conditions are right. Normal ground is clearly the key; in six races on it, Transmission has won twice, a win rate of 33%, or 1 in every 3. That is a sharp uplift from its overall numbers, and it is the sort of detail that makes the difference between a casual observer and someone who actually understands a horse. When the track is dry and the ground is fair, Transmission is a different animal.

The jockey partnership with Joe Anderson also stands out. In six races together, they have won twice — again that 1-in-3 ratio — which is a genuinely impressive strike for a horse at this level. The best trainer-jockey combinations often come down to familiarity and trust, and these two clearly bring something out of each other.

Neil Mulholland's yard has had a busy and productive season, sending out 61 winners, so Transmission is part of a team that knows how to get horses ready to perform. After a short break of 56 days, Transmission returns with recent form that reads 1-8-8-12-5-6, which on the surface looks inconsistent — but scroll past the mid-list finishes and there is that Class 2 win sitting right at the top. Career earnings of around £74,000 confirm this is a horse who has genuinely competed and contributed at a meaningful level. At nine years old, Transmission is not getting younger, but that Musselburgh win proves the fire is still there when everything lines up.
