Ask Peter
Ask Peter is a horse that thrives in the hands of jockey
Archie Young, who has won nearly 1 in every 4 races on its back (3 wins from 11 rides together). This partnership stands out against Ask Peter's overall record of 3 wins from 32 races—a win rate of roughly 1 in 11 across all its outings. The seven-year-old has not found the winner's circle in its last six races, and it has been a long drought: its most recent victory came at Catterick Bridge on 21 October 2023, now more than two years and ten months ago. Yet the horse remains active, having raced just a day ago, and continues to pick up placings—nine of them across its career—suggesting there is still some fight in it.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The real story with Ask Peter is Hamilton Park, a course where it has found genuine form. Two wins from three races there (a 67% win rate) marks the horse out as a genuine specialist, and it was at Hamilton Park where it broke its duck on 14 August 2023. Ask Peter also shows a clear preference for longer distances, winning 3 of its 13 races over 1 mile 6 furlongs to 2 miles (a 23% win rate at these distances), substantially better than its overall numbers. Trained by Anthony Honeyball's Mosterton yard in Dorset—a yard that has been prolific this season with 51 winners—Ask Peter typically races at Class 6 level, where it has won 2 of 12 races. The horse's recent form is mixed (3rd, 6th, 4th, 2nd, 4th, 7th in its last six), with nothing better than second place in that stretch. At seven years old, Ask Peter is in the middle of its racing life, and while the long spell without a win may look concerning, the course form at Hamilton Park and the obvious affinity with Archie Young suggest the horse could surprise again if conditions align.
