Yes And Yes

The key to understanding Yes And Yes lies in ground conditions and recent form. He is genuinely effective on normal ground, where he has won three of nine races — a 33% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record. This is the kind of specific strength that makes a horse predictable and useful: back him at the track when conditions are standard and dry, and the odds improve considerably. His most recent victories tell the story of a late bloomer. He won at Warwick three months ago and has struck twice in his last six races, including a win just recently. This is his best spell in a long time, suggesting he may have finally settled into a level where he can compete.

Lee Edwards has been his regular rider, with three wins from 16 races together — a 19% partnership record that mirrors the horse's best form. Edwards knows how to get the most from him. The surprise is that Yes And Yes typically races in Class 5 events, the lower tier of British racing, yet has managed just one win from ten races at that level. This suggests his wins have come at other tracks and conditions where the competition or ground has played more favourably. For a horse this age, staying sound and racing regularly is an achievement in itself. Yes And Yes is not a star, but he is a genuine campaigner with enough recent form to suggest his yard believes he still has wins left to offer.
