Cogital

At 11 years old, Cogital is the kind of horse that keeps turning up, keeps giving, and occasionally reminds everyone exactly what it is capable of. With 4 wins and 14 places from 32 races, this is a horse that has finished in the frame in nearly two-thirds of its outings — not a serial winner, but one that earns its keep and rarely runs a stinker.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's Detailed Breakdown
Auto-Generated

The record across its career sits at roughly 1 win in every 8 races, which sounds modest until you look at the ground conditions. On normal ground, Cogital transforms: 4 wins from just 13 races, which works out at nearly 1 in 3. That is a remarkable conversion rate, and it tells you exactly what the Bernard Llewellyn yard will be hoping for every time the forecast looks decent. Llewellyn trains out of Fochriw in Mid Glamorgan and has had a productive season, sending out 7 winners already — so Cogital is part of a yard that knows how to get a horse ready to perform.

The partnership with jockey Jordan Williams is worth noting. The two have raced together 10 times and won twice — a win rate of 20%, or 1 in 5. That comfortably outperforms Cogital's overall record, which suggests Williams knows this horse and gets the best out of it. It is the kind of quietly effective combination that matters more than it might appear on paper.

The last win came at Ffos Las on 9 July 2025 — about 10 months ago now — which means the drought across the most recent 6 races will be on the team's mind. That said, recent form has been patchy rather than dire: a second-place finish sits among those last six outings, and the horse raced just yesterday, so it is clearly in good enough health to keep competing. Most of Cogital's racing comes at Class 4 level, which is a solid middle tier of the sport, and winning there 1 time from 11 races tells you it tends to find a few too many rivals on the day, even if it places regularly.

With a horse this age still active and still competitive, the goal is simple: find the right race, get normal ground underfoot, put Jordan Williams in the saddle, and let Cogital do what it does best on its day.
