Mr Fustic

The real story here is his partnership with jockey Dylan Hogan. In 23 rides together, Hogan has won on Mr Fustic 6 times — a 26% win rate that is far above the horse's overall 17% win rate. That gap suggests this is a genuine working relationship, the sort of thing that makes trainers book the same jockey again and again. Andi Brown, based at Newmarket, has clearly built something that works: when Hogan is in the saddle, the horse performs materially better.

Conditions matter to Mr Fustic too. On wet or muddy ground, he wins in roughly 1 in every 3 races (2 wins from 7), compared to his baseline of 1 in 6 across all surfaces. That kind of preference is worth noting for anyone following the horse — soft ground is his friend. He also shows signs of being a Wolverhampton specialist, with 2 wins from just 5 races at that track, suggesting he has found a course that suits his running style. His last victory came at Southwell on 21 March 2026, and his recent form shows a fifth place and a fourth in his last six outings, suggesting he remains competitive. At this stage of his career, consistency and a small group of winning conditions are what Mr Fustic offers — not a star in the making, but a steady operator who knows his level.
