The most interesting thing about Wrist Art is its recent form. It won at Brighton just last week, on 23 August, which was only its third career victory. That success came at a sweet spot in distance — somewhere between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs — where it has won 1 of its 9 races at those trips (11%). It is the kind of horse that finds a distance it likes and suddenly performs above its usual level. Before Brighton, Wrist Art had drifted through a sequence of modest results: an eighth place, a fourth, a second, another fourth, and a third. The win therefore felt like a genuine breakthrough after months of near-misses.
Wayne Hassett has ridden Wrist Art more than any other jockey, and interestingly he gets the best out of it — winning 2 of 11 races together, an 18% win rate, which is significantly better than the horse's overall record. That partnership suggests there is something about Hassett's handling that suits this horse. One curiosity: Wrist Art has never won a Class 6 race despite competing in them seven times (0 from 7), which implies it may struggle when asked to beat particularly modest fields, or simply has been unlucky in those spots.
