Of Corse I Can

That recent purple patch is worth understanding in context. Class 5 is the entry level of British racing — these are competitive enough races, but not the headline acts. At that level, Of Corse I Can has won 2 from 15, which works out at roughly 1 in every 7 or 8 races. That is a modest overall record, but those two October wins suggest the horse may have found a level and a rhythm that suits it. Whether it can back that up after a three-month absence is the big question now.

The partnership with jockey Bradley Harris looks genuinely meaningful. Two wins from five races together means they are winning 40% of the time — 2 in every 5 rides. That is a striking number in a sport where even the very best jockey-horse combinations rarely win more than a third of the time. When those two line up together, something clearly clicks.

Behind the scenes, trainer Neil Mulholland runs a busy and productive yard out of Limpley Stoke in Wiltshire. Sixty-one winners in a single season is a serious output — this is not a small operation having a quiet year. A horse returning from a break under a trainer in that kind of form, with a jockey who already knows it well, is worth paying attention to.

The one note of caution is the three-month gap since that last win. Horses can come back from a break in peak condition or needing a run to find their stride again — there is no way to know until they are back on the track. Of Corse I Can has shown it can win, shown it enjoys a bit of momentum, and has the right people around it. Now it just needs to prove that October was the start of something rather than a brief flicker.
