Twilight Jet

The headline moment came on 8 October 2021, when Twilight Jet won a Class 1 race at Newmarket — one of the biggest stages in British racing, on one of its most famous tracks. That was actually the horse's very first career win, which makes it all the more striking. Horses don't usually arrive at the top of the sport before they've even tasted victory at a lower level, and pulling it off at Newmarket, where the racing is invariably fast and competitive, suggests this is an animal with genuine ability when everything clicks.

Since then, Twilight Jet has most regularly been asked to compete in Class 2 races — the second tier of British racing — and has drawn a blank in 6 attempts at that level. That's not a surprise: Class 2 fields are full of well-credentialled horses, and competing consistently at that standard without winning still represents a solid level of achievement. It does suggest, though, that Twilight Jet is most dangerous when conditions drop slightly in its favour.

Nowhere is that clearer than at Lingfield Park, where the horse has won 2 of its 6 races — a one-in-three record that marks it out as a genuine course specialist. The most recent of those wins came just this week on 30 May 2026, so Twilight Jet is very much in the form of its life right now. Recent form reads 1-1-8-5-8-5 from the last six races, meaning two wins sandwiched around some quieter efforts — a pattern that suggests this is a horse that needs things to fall right, but is absolutely capable of delivering when they do.

Jockey Leigh Roche has been a key part of the partnership, riding Twilight Jet to 3 of its 5 career wins from 14 races together — a win rate of 21%, or roughly 1 in every 5 rides. That kind of understanding between horse and rider matters, and the yard's current season — 13 winners and counting — suggests Jim and Suzi Best have things going very nicely at Lewes right now.
