Divilabother

There's a horse whose name tells you everything you need to know about the attitude required to follow it — Divilabother has made 21 trips to the track and come home a winner exactly once, which works out at just 1 in every 21 races, or roughly 5%. That said, it has placed ten times in total, meaning it has given its supporters *something* to cheer in nearly half its career starts, even if the winner's enclosure has remained stubbornly out of reach.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That one win came at Hexham on 27 August 2025, and for an eight-year-old horse, a first career victory is a moment worth savouring — however long it took to arrive. Hexham is a sharp, undulating track in Northumberland that suits particular types, and Divilabother clearly found something it liked there. The trouble is it hasn't been back to the winner's spot since, and with six races run since that day without a win, the question now is whether Hexham was a one-off peak or a sign of what the horse can do when everything clicks.

The recent form makes for interesting reading: a sixth, a third, a missed race, then a fourth and two consecutive seconds. Those back-to-back runner-up finishes suggest a horse that is genuinely competitive at its level — close enough to smell the win, but not quite getting there. It raced just one day ago, so it is clearly fit and active heading into what comes next.

Tristan Davidson trains out of Irthington in Cumbria, and his yard has sent out 21 winners this season — a solid return that shows this is a team that knows how to get horses ready to perform. Divilabother may not be the stable's star, but it is a consistent, durable horse that keeps turning up and keeps running its race. At eight years old, with a busy career behind it and a trainer in form, don't be too quick to write it off — sometimes horses like this find one more moment when you least expect it.
