Double Parked

The overall career record of 3 wins and 9 places from 15 races tells a story of a horse that is almost never out of contention. Winning roughly 1 in every 5 races (20%) is solid, but the placing record is what catches the eye — Double Parked has finished in the top three in 12 of its 15 outings. That is a horse that turns up, competes hard, and rarely embarrasses itself.

The conditions matter too. On fast, dry ground, Double Parked wins 2 from every 6 races — a 33% return that drops away on softer ground. And the distance sweet spot is clear: seven furlongs to a mile, where all three career wins have come. That is not a coincidence. It is the range where the horse finds its rhythm and holds it long enough to matter.

Tim Easterby, whose yard at Great Habton in North Yorkshire has sent out 126 winners this season alone, trains Double Parked. That is a prolific operation, and Easterby has the experience to know exactly what a horse like this needs. The regular partnership with jockey David Allan — 1 win from 6 rides together — suggests the team is still finding its best combination, though the relationship is a familiar one.

The most recent form reads 12-3-7-3-8-1 going back through the last six runs. There is inconsistency there, but also evidence of a horse that can still produce something special. The last win came at Redcar in August 2025, and with Double Parked last raced just one day ago and still active this season, the next time this horse steps onto that familiar Redcar turf on a dry summer afternoon, it is worth paying attention. History suggests something good tends to happen.
