Wild Thoughts
Wild Thoughts is a 3-year-old with genuine quality and the kind of partnership that can turn a good horse into a special one. The numbers tell a compelling story: five wins from fourteen races is a win rate of roughly one in every three, which puts this horse well above average. More striking still is the bond with jockey
Saffie Osborne, who has ridden Wild Thoughts in five races and won four of them — an 80% win rate that suggests real understanding between horse and rider.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Richard Spencer's Newmarket yard has sent out thirty winners this season, so the horse is in a stable with genuine firing power. Wild Thoughts found its first victory at Redcar on 20 April 2026, and has built steadily since. The horse clearly has a distance sweet spot: at seven furlongs to a mile, it has won two of three races, a 67% record that hints at the range it can handle. That last win came at Ayr just last week on 17 September, showing the horse is in form right now and racing regularly. The recent sequence — a win, then a placed effort, a couple more places, and finishes outside the money — suggests inconsistency, but that second-place finish three runs back and the strong start to the recent six races show a horse that knows how to run well at the track it needs.
This is a horse worth watching. The partnership with Osborne is working too well to be coincidence, and Spencer clearly knows how to get the best from it. Wild Thoughts has the record and the recent form to suggest there are more wins to come.
