Both wins came in the summer of 2024 — first at Musselburgh in July, then at Redcar in August — and trainer Tracy Waggott, who operates out of Spennymoor in County Durham, clearly had her well tuned that season. Waggott's yard has sent out 10 winners so far this season, so this is an active, functioning operation rather than a small-time outfit. The hope is that Jamie's Choice can add to that tally before long.
The most recent six runs tell a quieter story: 5th, 7th, 11th, 10th, 6th, 7th — no wins, and nothing particularly close. The last win now stands at 21 months ago. However, context matters here. Waggott has pointed out that last time out at Catterick, the horse reared up when the starting stalls opened, which is about as bad a start as you can have in a flat race. It cost her ground she never recovered. That is a frustrating but blameless run, and it means the recent form is not quite as flat as the numbers suggest.
The key ingredient, according to Waggott, is the ground. Jamie's Choice wants fast, dry conditions — the kind of firm summer surface that suits a quick, light-footed horse. Connor Beasley rides her most often and has won once from five attempts together, a win rate of 1 in 5, which is actually a solid return. She raced just one day ago and remains active, so the team clearly believe there is another good day in her somewhere. With summer arriving and the right conditions potentially on the way, this is a horse worth keeping an eye on.
