Trained by Michael Blake out of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, Under The Twilight has been a steady contributor to a yard that has sent out four winners already this season. The horse competes mainly at Class 4 level — a step below the top tier but still competitive, honest racing — and has won 3 of 17 races at that level, around 1 in every 6. Not flashy, but consistent enough to keep turning up and keep the team interested.
The most compelling part of this horse's record is what happens at Salisbury. Three wins from just six races there — that's 1 in every 2 races, which is extraordinary. Most horses manage that kind of ratio for a season at most, but Under The Twilight treats Salisbury almost like a home track, and if you ever see this horse entered there, you now know why that matters.
Harry Davies rides regularly, partnering the horse 10 times for 2 wins — a win rate of 20%, or roughly 1 in every 5 rides together, which holds up well. The career began with a first win at Chelmsford back in October 2021, and recent form reads 1-4-4-2-6-8 from the last six races, meaning this horse has been thereabouts more often than not, with that Windsor win bringing the sequence back to life at just the right moment.
At eight years old, Under The Twilight is not a young prospect building toward something — this is a horse that knows its job, finds tracks it likes, and delivers when conditions suit. The Windsor win this week is a reminder that seasoned campaigners can still surprise you, and with Salisbury presumably still to come this summer, there could be more to enjoy yet.
