Coast

The numbers tell the story of a genuine course specialist. At Lingfield Park, Coast has thrived, winning four of his 11 races there — a 36% win rate that stands in sharp contrast to his overall 7% win rate of 6 wins from 89 outings. His last victory came at Lingfield on 05 August 2024, and while that win now sits two years back in the record, it shows this is a horse who knows how to perform on a track that suits him. In Class 6 company — the lower divisions where most of his races take place — he wins roughly one in every 11 races (9% win rate), slightly above his career average.

Recent form suggests Coast has hit a quieter spell. His last six races have brought no winners, with results of fourth, sixth, third, fifth, twelfth, and sixth. Ridden most often by Elisha Whittington, the partnership has yielded just 2 wins from 22 races together, hardly a record of sparkling harmony. Scott Dixon's Rolleston yard continues to send out winners — 33 this season — but Coast is likely to be a bread-and-butter sort rather than a fashionable prospect. Still, at seven years old with no signs of being retired, he remains active and available, a horse for those who value longevity and the odd day in the sun at a track that brings out his best.
