Art Of Unity

The key to understanding this horse is one word: Bellewstown. Of Art Of Unity's 3 career wins, 2 have come at that track, from just 5 races there. That means it wins 2 in every 5 races at Bellewstown — a remarkable ratio that towers over its record everywhere else. Some horses simply click with a particular course, whether it's the shape of the track, the ground, or something harder to explain. Whatever the reason, Art Of Unity at Bellewstown is a very different proposition to Art Of Unity anywhere else.

The most recent of those course wins came on 2 October 2025, just eight months ago, so this is not ancient history. The horse is still active — it raced just one day ago — and its recent form reads 5th, 5th, pulled up or unseated, 3rd, pulled up or unseated, and 19th across its last six outings. That's a mixed picture, with a couple of non-completions in there, but the placing efforts show it can still find its way into a race when things go right.

Julian Pietropaolo has been the jockey to watch when the partnership clicks. In 6 races together, he has ridden Art Of Unity to 2 wins — that's winning 1 in every 3 rides, or 33%, which is a striking number and well above the horse's overall average. It suggests the two have genuinely figured each other out. The horse is trained by Miss Katy Brown, whose yard has sent out 1 winner so far this season — a small operation, but clearly one that knows what it's doing with this particular horse.

Art Of Unity is never going to be confused with a big-race contender, but there's something genuinely compelling about a horse that keeps showing up at the age of 11, still placed regularly, and still capable of winning when conditions suit. Get it back to Bellewstown with Pietropaolo in the saddle, and you'd be foolish not to pay attention.
