Crepe Suzette

That sole win came at Wolverhampton in April 2025, and it arrived at what looks like Crepe Suzette's sweet spot for distance: races run over about a mile and a quarter. At that trip, the record reads one win from three races — winning a third of the time — which is a genuinely strong return and tells you something useful about where this horse is most comfortable.

The partnership with jockey Robert Havlin has become the settled arrangement here, and it is a productive one. Together they have won 1 from 5 races — that is 20%, or roughly 1 in every 5 times they line up together, which beats Crepe Suzette's overall career average comfortably. Havlin clearly knows this horse well.

Behind the horse stands one of the most formidable training operations in British racing. John and Thady Gosden, based at Newmarket, have sent out 140 winners already this season alone — that is not a yard sending horses out to make up the numbers. When a horse comes out of that stable, it has been prepared properly. The fact that Crepe Suzette has raced as recently as yesterday confirms this is a horse very much in the middle of an active campaign, and with recent form reading three placings and a second before that win at Wolverhampton, the momentum has been building steadily.
