From The Hip

What stands out about From The Hip is the consistency of its recent record. In its last six races, it has won three times (against an eighth-place finish, a third, and another eighth). That pattern — two wins, a place, then another win — suggests a horse that knows how to find its way to the front when it matters. The most recent victory came at Windsor on 8 June, now three months old, so the horse is due for another winning opportunity soon if form holds. It typically races in Class 5 events, where it has won 2 of 6 races, matching its overall win rate and showing it is at the right level.

Tyler Heard, the horse's regular jockey, has partnered it in seven races and steered it to two wins, a 29 per cent win rate that suggests a solid working relationship. From The Hip broke its duck at Chelmsford on 30 October 2025 and has since proven that debut success was no flash in the pan. This is a young horse still learning its trade, but the form of the last six weeks is encouraging — it is winning regularly, staying sound enough to race frequently, and clearly suited to the opportunities Mark Usher is finding for it.
