Shecouldbeanything

The big moment of her career so far came at Bangor-on-Dee in November 2024, when she won a Class 1 race — one of the top races in Britain. Elliott has been open about the fact that she falls just short of the very best mares around, but has also been quick to point out that ten career wins is a remarkable total by any measure. She also holds a particularly strong record at Limerick, winning 2 of her 3 races there — the track where she got her career off the mark back in November 2022. Some horses and some tracks just suit each other, and Limerick appears to be one of those relationships.

Where Shecouldbeanything really comes alive is on wet ground. She has won 3 from 6 races when conditions are soft or muddy, and 2 from 4 on slightly soft ground — both figures sitting at 50 percent, which is a startling conversion rate. On her day, in the right conditions, she is genuinely difficult to beat. Her regular jockey Jordan Gainford has ridden her to 2 wins from 9 races together. Those who have ridden her describe a horse who is uncomplicated and honest, one that jumps well and simply gets on with the job.

The recent form tells a slightly different story. She hasn't won in her last six races, and her trainer has acknowledged she wasn't herself in one of her latest outings. But she is still active — she raced just one day ago — and Elliott has already talked about targeting a big race with her. For a nine-year-old with ten wins, a Class 1 on her record, and a horse who thrives when the rain comes, the story is far from over.
