Little Ted

The shape of Little Ted's career shows the wear of age and hard racing. His last win came on 26 June 2025 at Leicester—14 months ago now—and he has not found the winner's enclosure in his last six races, though he has been placed in four of them. His most recent outing, just a day ago, ended in seventh place, yet the fact that he continues to run suggests his the yard believe there is still a race or two left in him. He has been trained throughout by Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, one of the most prolific operations in British racing, and has been ridden most often by David Allan, with whom he has won twice from 22 races together. There is one notable corner of the country where Little Ted genuinely shines: at Musselburgh, he has won 2 of his 5 races there, a record that makes him a horse to watch whenever he runs on that Scottish circuit. For the yard in search of a modest win before Little Ted's time in the game runs out, sending him back to the course where he has thrived makes obvious sense.
