Packetofbiscuits

The most interesting thread running through its career is what happens at Southwell. Of its 4 wins, 2 have come at that track, from 9 races there — that is better than 1 win in every 5 attempts at the same venue, which for a horse competing at this level is genuinely notable. Racecourses have very different surfaces and layouts, and some horses simply click with one track in a way that defies easy explanation. Southwell appears to be that place for Packetofbiscuits, and the most recent win there came just two months ago in February 2026, which means this is not ancient history.

The bulk of its racing has come at Class 5 level — the workmanlike end of the sport, where fields are competitive and winners are hard to find. Packetofbiscuits has won 3 of its 19 races at that level, roughly 1 in every 6 attempts, which is a perfectly respectable record in that company. Trainer John Mackie, based in Church Broughton in Derbyshire, has sent out 15 winners already this season, so the yard is in decent form and clearly knows how to place a horse where it can be competitive.

One intriguing wrinkle is the partnership with jockey Luke Morris, who has ridden Packetofbiscuits 12 times without a win between them. Twelve races is a fair sample — that is a long run without a winner for a regular combination, and it raises the obvious question of whether a change of rider might unlock something. Both of the course wins at Southwell have come, after all, and the form figures across the last six races — a win, a second, a fifth, a twelfth, and a seventh — show a horse that goes up and down without much predictability. Right now, with a race just yesterday and that Southwell record sitting there as a calling card, Packetofbiscuits looks like exactly the sort of horse you keep an eye on when it heads back to its favourite track.
