Jet Legs

Back in March 2023, Jet Legs won a Class 2 race at Kelso — one of the top races in Britain — just three weeks after breaking its duck at Wetherby. Winning twice in quick succession, with the second being at that level, suggested a horse hitting a real purple patch. For a horse that typically competes in Class 4 company, stepping up and winning against a far stronger field is the kind of performance that sticks in the memory.

The most recent win came at Hexham in March 2025, but that was 14 months ago, and the last six runs have brought finishes of 3rd, 6th, 6th, 6th, 4th, and 5th — close enough to suggest the horse is still trying, but not quite getting there. It raced just yesterday, which confirms this is an active, busy horse still being put to work deep into its career.

Martin Todhunter trains Jet Legs from his yard in Orton, Cumbria — a small northern operation that has still managed to send out 9 winners this season, which is a solid return. Callum Bewley is the regular rider, partnering the horse in 12 of its 30 races and winning twice together, a record that mirrors the horse's overall win rate of about 1 in 6. One thing that does stand out is Jet Legs' record on normal ground conditions: 2 wins from just 6 races in those circumstances means it has won a third of the time when the ground is right. For a horse that otherwise wins around 1 in 6, that gap is significant — get the conditions right and this horse becomes a noticeably better prospect.
