Un Sens A La Vie
Un Sens A La Vie is a horse that has found its level and, more importantly, found its home. The six-year-old's record speaks for itself: four wins and six places from eight races, which means it wins roughly one in every two races it runs in. That is genuinely elite for a horse at this level of racing. What makes it more impressive is how recent and consistent this form is. In its last six outings, it has won twice, finished second twice, and only once failed to place in the top four. Yesterday's run came just days after winning at Market Rasen on 26 September, and that win was its third victory at the same track in three attempts—an extraordinary record that suggests this horse is not just good on the day, but that it positively thrives there.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The partnership between Un Sens A La Vie and Sam Twiston-Davies appears to be exactly what this horse needs. Twiston-Davies, who rides for the Naunton yard run by Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies, has won three of their seven races together—a 43% win rate that is significantly better than the horse's overall form. The yard itself is flying this season with 62 winners already, so this is clearly a team firing on all cylinders. When Un Sens A La Vie races in Class 4 events—the level where it most commonly competes—it wins roughly two in every three races. That conversion rate is the mark of a horse that has genuinely found races within its grasp and the yard who know exactly how to place it to advantage. With the horse still racing actively and Market Rasen clearly a fortress, expect this impressive streak to continue.
