Jewel Maker

The horse is trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, and the yard is having a productive season — 126 winners and counting, which is a serious operation. Easterby knows how to place a horse, and Jewel Maker's record suggests careful, patient handling over a long career. The most regular partner in the saddle has been David Allan, who has ridden the horse 23 times and guided it to 3 of those 8 wins — a win rate of roughly 1 in 7 together, which is actually above the horse's overall average.

There are a couple of patterns worth noting. At Carlisle, Jewel Maker has won 2 of just 6 races — that's 1 in 3, which is remarkably good for a horse whose overall record is closer to 1 in 9. Course form that strong suggests the track genuinely suits, and it's no coincidence that the first career win came there back in July 2022. The horse also tends to run its best races over seven furlongs to a mile, winning 1 from 6 at those distances — and while that fraction isn't eye-catching, it's still among the better segments of the record.

The last win came at Redcar in October 2025, about seven months ago, and the recent run of form — finishing seventh, eleventh, ninth, sixth, eighth, and fourth across the last six races — shows a horse that's competitive enough to place but hasn't quite found the winner's enclosure lately. The fourth-place finish the most recent time out, just yesterday, is at least a sign of continued presence at the business end. At Class 5, where Jewel Maker spends most of its time, 4 wins from 34 races is modest but honest — this is a horse doing a job week in, week out, for a yard that clearly believes there's still another win in the tank.
