Weston Court

Both of those wins came within a tight eight-day window in the summer of 2024 — first at Bath on the 24th of June, then at Windsor on the 1st of July. Back-to-back wins suggest a horse that hit a purple patch at exactly the right moment, conditions suiting it perfectly and everything clicking at once. Since then, nothing. It has now gone 25 months without winning, and its last six runs read 8-6-5-2-4-4 — which, read in reverse, actually shows a horse that has been creeping closer to the front again. A second place last time out is the best result in that run, and Weston Court raced just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in the thick of things right now.

The distance that suits it best is between one mile one furlong and one mile two furlongs, where it has won both races from a total of 20 attempts at those trips — a win rate of 10%, or roughly 1 in every 10 races at the right distance. That may not sound dramatic, but compared to its overall record it represents a meaningful improvement, and it tells you that whoever runs Weston Court knows to keep it in that sweet spot. Jockey Liam Keniry has ridden it six times without a win, though given the horse's overall record that is perhaps less surprising than it sounds. The pair have yet to find the formula — but with recent form trending upward and a horse that clearly knows how to win when conditions align, another day in the sun is not out of the question.
