Where's Cato
Where's Cato has had the kind of career that makes sense only if you understand how hard it is to win races. At seven years old, this horse has contested eight races and won two of them—a quarter of the time, which might not sound dramatic until you remember that most racehorses never win at all. What makes the record more interesting is where those wins have come: in Class 4 races, the kind of middle-tier competition where decent horses compete regularly, Where's Cato has managed to win half of the four races it has entered. That is a genuinely strong win rate at that level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The trouble is the form has gone cold. The last win came at Huntingdon on 22 January 2026—nine months ago now—and the recent runs tell a story of decline. In the past six outings, the best result has been a third place; there have been two fifth-place finishes and a tenth. Just yesterday, Where's Cato raced and came fifth again. For a horse that was winning half its races at Class 4 level, this current stretch looks like the horse has either lost a step or simply fallen in among tougher opposition.
Trained by Mrs C. Williams at Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan, Where's Cato runs for a small but active yard—one that has sent out three winners already this season. The trainer will know this horse well by now. Whether the recent poor form is a temporary dip or a sign that the horse has had its day is impossible to say from the numbers alone, but what is clear is that Where's Cato needs to get back to winning ways soon, or the racing public will move on to fresher prospects.
