Digital

The most striking thing about Digital is what happens when the skies open. On wet or muddy ground, the horse is a different animal entirely, winning 2 from 5 races — that's a 40% win rate, which is extraordinary. Most horses that compete 55 times are lucky to win 1 in 10 overall, so finding ground conditions that flip the odds to nearly 1 in 2 is a huge edge. Newcastle is another happy hunting ground: 3 wins from 12 races there, including a win as recently as February 2026, just three months ago. Dominating a specific track like that isn't luck — it suggests the course genuinely suits how Digital travels and finishes.

Trainer Ruth Carr, based in Stillington in North Yorkshire, has sent out 63 winners this season alone, so this is a busy and effective yard. Carr has spoken warmly about Digital, and jockey Paul Mulrennan captured it well after one run at Hamilton, relaying that Carr felt she simply couldn't get the horse any better — he was in the best form of his life. That kind of confidence from a trainer is exactly what you want to hear. James Sullivan rides Digital most often, partnering the horse in 23 of his 55 races and winning 3 of them together.

The recent form is mixed — finishing 11th, 9th, and 7th in three of the last six runs — but there's a second place tucked in there too, and crucially a win at Newcastle just three months ago. At eight years old, raced just one day ago and clearly still in work, Digital is an active, competitive horse who saves his very best for the right track and the right ground. Get him to Newcastle on a wet afternoon, and the smart money knows exactly what to expect.
