Rose's Dart

That sole career win came at Market Rasen on 15 March 2026, just four weeks ago, and it stands out for a specific reason: Rose's Dart had gone 0 from 4 at the Class 4 level, which represents the bread-and-butter tier of competitive racing. Step her down in grade, give her the right conditions, and she delivered. Market Rasen is a tight, quirky track in Lincolnshire that tends to reward horses who are sharp and adaptable rather than just talented, and Rose's Dart clearly took to it.

The horse raced just yesterday, which means she is right in the thick of an active campaign. Her recent form figures — 6-1-7-11-6-3 reading from most recent back — show a horse that can run well but hasn't always strung things together. That seventh and eleventh place are bumps in the road, but the win and the third place either side of them suggest she's capable when things fall right.

Her most regular partner in the saddle is Jamie Hamilton, who has ridden her in 5 of her 9 races. Together they have a win rate of 20% — 1 win from 5 rides — which is actually a solid partnership figure. For context, winning 1 in every 5 races together is the kind of number that suggests a genuine understanding between horse and rider, not just a coincidence.

She is trained by the father-and-son team of Michael and David Easterby at their yard in Sheriff Hutton, North Yorkshire. With 51 winners already on the board this season, this is a team in good form and clearly knows how to place a horse to win. The fact that Rose's Dart has now broken her duck will give them options — they know what she can do and where she does it. Whether they go back to Market Rasen or try to build on this elsewhere will be the interesting question as her season develops.
