Boston Joe

His overall career reads 6 wins and 13 places from 30 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5, which is solid without being spectacular at Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing. What lifts Boston Joe above the ordinary is that he keeps delivering when it matters to his the yard. His trainer Rebecca Curtis, based in Newport, Pembrokeshire, has had 18 winners from her yard this season alone, and Boston Joe has contributed meaningfully to that tally. His most recent win came at Ffos Las on 16 March 2026, just four weeks ago, so this is a horse in form right now.

The partnership with jockey Ben Jones is worth noting too. Together they have won 4 of their 10 races — that's 40%, which is a genuinely striking number. In racing terms, winning 2 in every 5 races with the same jockey suggests something more than luck; the pair clearly understand each other. Curtis has spoken about managing Boston Joe carefully after he cut his leg following a run at Chepstow earlier in the season, giving him the time he needed to heal properly before bringing him back. That kind of patient handling from a trainer often pays off — and his recent win suggests it has.

His last six runs show a mixed picture — a win and a second among some quieter efforts — but with Boston Joe, the form at Ffos Las is the thing to focus on. He raced just yesterday and remains active, so he is firmly in the thick of his season. At ten years old, he is no young prospect with an unknown ceiling — what you see is what you get, and what you get at Ffos Las is a horse who turns up, knows the track, and wins races. For Rebecca Curtis's yard, he is exactly the kind of reliable, course-savvy performer that keeps a training operation ticking over.
