The Hatchet

There is something quietly stubborn about The Hatchet. The six-year-old has only won once in nine career races — 1 win from 9, or roughly 1 in every 9 outings — but it keeps showing up, keeps placing, and keeps giving its team something to work with. That sole victory came at Perth on 24 September 2025, and it remains the high point of a career that has produced four placed finishes alongside that single win.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's Detailed Breakdown
Auto-Generated

The most recent six runs tell an honest story: a third, a second, a sixth, and another third, with two blank efforts bookending the sequence. Nothing flashy, but the horse is rarely far away in the finishes that matter. Competing mostly at Class 4 level — the solid, workmanlike tier of British racing where horses earn their keep rather than their headlines — The Hatchet has won 1 of its 5 races at that level, a 20% win rate that actually compares well against its overall record. It seems to know what it's doing at this level, even if the wins have been hard to come by.

Jack Power is the regular partner in the saddle, and together they have the best result the horse has managed — that Perth win is part of their five races together, giving them a 1-from-5 record and a 20% win rate as a partnership. The yard behind the horse is Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore's operation in Milnathort, one of the most respected training set-ups in Scotland. With 49 winners already on the board this season, this is a stable that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. The Hatchet may not be their star, but it is in capable hands. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is firmly in the thick of its season — still active, still trying, and with Perth on the horizon as the track where it has already proved it can win.
