Phone Tag

The most revealing number in Phone Tag's record is what happens on normal ground conditions: 3 wins from 12 races, meaning it wins 1 in every 4 times the track is neither wet nor baked hard. That's a meaningful uptick from its overall rate, and it's the kind of detail that separates a punter from a casual observer. When conditions suit, this horse is genuinely competitive at its level.

That level is predominantly Class 5, which sits towards the lower end of the racing ladder, but Phone Tag has thrived there — winning 4 of its 13 races at that grade, a win rate of 31%, or nearly 1 in 3. That's the mark of a horse that belongs and knows it. Its first career win came at Windsor in October 2023, and its most recent at Newmarket in October 2025, a course that demands a certain quality of performance. Winning at Newmarket is always worth a mention — it's one of Britain's most prestigious venues and not somewhere ordinary horses routinely trouble the judge.

Recent form tells an interesting story. The last six runs read 11-2-1-10-12-1, which looks inconsistent on the surface, but the two wins bookend the sequence — a win, then two disappointing efforts, then a win again. Two wins from its last six races is actually Phone Tag at its most productive, and with a race just yesterday, the horse is clearly in the thick of a busy campaign. Jack Mitchell, who rides it most often, has won 1 from 5 together — 20%, or 1 in every 5 — a decent enough partnership without being exceptional. Phone Tag isn't a horse that dominates headlines, but it's honest, consistent at its best level, and very much still in business.
