Divot
Divot is a straightforward sort of horse—not a superstar in the making, but one that has worked out how to win races and, more importantly, where to do it. The four-year-old has chalked up 2 wins from 20 races over a career that began nearly two years ago, and while a 10% win rate might not sound thrilling, what matters is that both victories have come at the same place: Great Yarmouth, where Divot has won 2 of its 5 races there. That kind of track specialization is real and valuable. The horse's most recent win came five weeks ago at the course, and it raced again just yesterday, so Divot remains genuinely active and in the hands of trainer
William Knight at Newmarket.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The pattern of Divot's form suggests a horse with clear preferences. It loves fast, dry ground—a rarity in British racing—and has won 2 of its 5 races on those conditions, a win rate of 40% that towers above its overall record. The horse also seems to have a distance sweet spot around 1 mile 3 furlongs to 1 mile 4 furlongs, where it has won both its races from 12 attempts. What is worth noting is that Divot struggles markedly in higher-class races: it has never won from 5 runs at Class 5 level, suggesting its wins come at lower grades where the opposition is weaker. Over the last six races, it has picked up two victories and three places, a decent run that includes a seventh and a fourth, showing inconsistency but also moments of form. William Knight's yard is sending out winners regularly this season—28 so far—so the infrastructure is in place. For a horse chasing modest targets on quick ground at courses it suits, Divot has found its niche.
