Letmeseethecolts

The horse broke its duck at Southwell in January 2025, then backed that up with a second win at Pontefract in April 2025. Pontefract is one of those quirky, undulating Yorkshire tracks that suits horses with a particular stride and a good engine, and winning there is no fluke. That said, 14 months have now passed since that victory, which means the team at Brian Ellison's yard in Norton, North Yorkshire, will be keen to see the horse translate its consistent placing into another trip to the winner's enclosure soon.

Ellison himself is having a productive season — 43 winners sent out already, which is a healthy tally and a sign that the yard is in decent form. The most regular partnership in the saddle is with Ben Robinson, who has ridden Letmeseethecolts in 8 of its 14 races and won once together — a 12% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 8 rides. That is modest, but it reflects the horse's general profile rather than any fault in the partnership.

Where things get genuinely interesting is at a mile and three to a mile and four furlongs. In three races at that trip, Letmeseethecolts has won once — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in 3. That is a striking number and more than double the horse's overall rate. It suggests this is a horse that needs a proper test of stamina to show its best, and the yard would be wise to keep targeting that range. The recent form — a win, a second, and a third across the last five runs — shows a horse that has been knocking on the door regularly, and the fact it raced just yesterday means it is very much an active, live proposition right now.
