Lord Cauvelliere

The most encouraging sign is that Lord Cauvelliere shows genuine aptitude for longer distances. Over races of two miles or more, he has won 1 from 5—a 20 percent win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record. There is also a relationship worth watching: jockey Callum Pritchard, who rides him most regularly, has managed 1 win from 5 races aboard him, another 20 percent return. When Pritchard gets the leg up, the horse tends to run better. Under trainer Sheila Lewis at Brecon in Powys, Lord Cauvelliere remains an active competitor, having run as recently as yesterday. The yard itself is ticking along respectably with four winners sent out this season so far, though Lord Cauvelliere has not been one of them recently. At Class 4 level—where the horse typically competes—he has not yet broken his duck, which suggests he may be running at the limit of his abilities when asked to race against that caliber of opponent.
