Race To Base

Across nine races in total, Race To Base has won twice and finished in the places five more times, giving it a 22% win rate — roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 races it enters. That is a solid record for a horse competing mostly at Class 4 level, where competition is genuine without being the very top tier of the sport. At that level, winning 1 from 3 races (33%) suggests a horse that is competitive and consistent rather than one that simply makes up the numbers.

The partnership with jockey Sam Twiston-Davies is worth noting. Together they have won 2 of their 6 races — a 33% win rate, or 1 in 3 — which is a genuinely strong number. Jockeys and horses do develop rhythms with each other, and those figures suggest this is a combination that works. The yard behind the horse is Nick Scholfield's operation in Lambourn, one of the most famous training villages in British racing, and the team has hit the ground running this season with 19 winners already sent out.

Ground conditions matter too. On normal ground, Race To Base has won 2 from 4 races — exactly 50%, meaning it wins every other time it encounters those conditions. That kind of stat is a useful pointer for anyone watching future entries.

The horse was last seen racing just one day ago, so it is very much in the thick of a busy campaign. Its first career win came at Hereford in April 2025, and the most recent victory came at the same track in November 2025 — six months ago. Recent form reads 2-–-4-3-1-5, showing a win followed by a second place and a pair of mid-field efforts before that, suggesting a horse that remains competitive even if the top spots have been harder to find lately. When Hereford comes around again, you would be foolish not to pay attention.
