V Twelve

The most striking thing about V Twelve is what happens when you put him on wet or muddy ground around Hamilton Park. He has won twice from just four races at the Scottish track, which is a remarkable ratio — half of all his visits there have ended in victory. His most recent win came at Hamilton Park on 26 June 2025, and that course record alone makes him worth paying attention to whenever he returns. He also has a clear preference for a trip of a mile and three furlongs to a mile and four, winning twice from nine attempts at those distances — a win rate of 22%, or roughly 1 in every 4 races. Wet conditions suit him further: 2 wins from 11 races on soft or heavy ground, at 18%.

Todhunter's yard has had nine winners this season, and V Twelve has been a contributor to that tally. His most regular partner in the saddle is Ross Coakley, who has ridden him to 1 win from 5 races together — a 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5 rides, which is a genuinely solid return. The trainer has previously noted that the horse had a spell over hurdles that showed real promise, describing him as a "nice, big horse" with a future in that code too, though he has remained a fixture on the Flat.

His recent form reads 5-4-9-blank-4-3 from his last six races, and he has not won for just over a year. That is a fair streak to be on, but the places keep coming, and the horse raced just yesterday — still active and still competitive. At Class 5 level, where he does most of his racing, he wins roughly 1 in every 10 races, but his course record at Hamilton Park and his preference for wet ground and a staying trip give his supporters something specific and concrete to look for. When those conditions align, V Twelve tends to deliver.
