This horse was not on the card we last read. The figures above are carried forward from the day it was, and nothing about it has changed since.
collected through 2026-10-24 15:00:04 UTCderived 2026-10-24 16:00:40 UTC
Finished first, second or third, whatever the number of runners. Not the each-way place terms of the race, which depend on the field and the bookmaker.
Every figure below uses only races run before the date above. Nothing here is a prediction, and nothing here is a price.
The record we hold
| Record | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All runs we hold | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0.0% | 100.0% |
Our archive runs to 23 October 2026. A run after that date is missing from these figures, so read them as what we hold, not as a complete record.
By going, course and distance
No single going, course or distance band reaches the two runs we require before quoting a rate. We hold one run for this horse, and one run is not a strike rate.
This is a statement about the sample, not about the horse. The line above is the whole of what we hold.
Recent activity
It had not run for 6 months.
Counts, not rates — one win from two runs is not a fifty per cent strike rate, it is two runs. Everything here is cut at 9 October 2026.
Jockey and trainer
| Connection | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JockeyStan Sheppard | 1278 | 193 | 514 | 15.1% | 40.2% |
| TrainerTom Lacey | 1388 | 220 | 577 | 15.9% | 41.6% |
The table above is the whole-archive record, not this pairing. Those figures are the rider’s across every ride we hold and the yard’s across every runner we hold, to 23 October 2026. What follows is narrower.
The pairing itself — Stan Sheppard riding for Tom Lacey — is 124 from 748 in our archive, a 16.6% strike rate.
Under today’s conditions, at Chepstow, Stan Sheppard is 11 from 84 — a 13.1%, and over 1m5f and beyond, 193 from 1,278 — a 15.1%; at Chepstow, Tom Lacey is 15 from 90 — a 16.7%, and over 1m5f and beyond, 219 from 1,360 — a 16.1%. Course and distance are taken one at a time, not together.
Sire
| Sire | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poet's Wordprogeny we hold — see the note below | 402 | 32 | 131 | 8.0% | 32.6% |
The sire’s progeny across every run we hold to 23 October 2026. It is a statement about the stallion’s stock in general, not about this horse.
Breeding is complete for races up to 22 July 2026. For races since, we hold the sire for 96.9% of runners (32,943 of 34,011), so progeny totals under-count recent runs.
Narrowed to the distance of this race — 1m5f and beyond — that same progeny record is 15 from 228, a 6.6% strike rate. Going and course are not held constant here.
Figures are our own count over an archive of published race results, computed using only races run before 9 October 2026. A rate is shown only where we hold at least two runs of that kind. Race times are BST. mazetick publishes measurements, not tips: nothing here is advice to bet, and no price appears on this page. All horses in the archive.
