Rememberthename

That day came at Kelso on 20 April 2026, and it is worth noting because Kelso, tucked away in the Scottish Borders, suits a certain type of tough, straightforward horse. Rememberthename has now won 1 from 10 overall — not a flashy number, but the recent form is the thing to focus on. Reading the last six runs from most recent backwards: a fourth, a win, a second, a third, a seventh, and a fifth. Strip out that one bad day and this horse has been remarkably consistent, placing in five of the other six. That is a horse who turns up and competes.

Trained by Sandy Thomson at Lambden in Berwickshire, Rememberthename is part of a yard that has been in fine form — 18 winners sent out already this season, which for a smaller Scottish operation is a genuine achievement. Thomson tends to place his horses shrewdly, and the decision to keep coming back to tracks and conditions that suit has clearly paid off. The win at Kelso came just two weeks ago, and the horse was back out racing yesterday, which suggests the team are keen to keep the momentum going while the horse is in form.

The one puzzle in the record is the Class 4 performances. At that level — the bread-and-butter tier of the sport — Rememberthename has run four times without winning, a record of 0 from 4. The Kelso win came elsewhere in the programme, which hints that stepping down in class or finding a specific type of race has been the key to unlocking this horse. Whether Thomson can find more opportunities like that is the interesting question. The form right now is as good as it has looked, and a horse with six places from ten races is never far from winning again.
