Yes And Yes

To understand how significant that is, some context helps. Over 16 races spanning a career, Yes And Yes has won 3 times and finished in the places 5 more times — a win rate of around 1 in every 5 races, or 19% if you prefer the number. For a horse competing mostly at Class 5 level, the fifth tier of British racing, that's a solid but unremarkable record on paper. What makes it interesting is the shape of it: the wins are clustering at the end. Two wins from the last six races tells you something has clicked, whether that's fitness, confidence, or simply finding the right conditions.

Those conditions matter enormously with Yes And Yes. On normal ground — not too wet, not too dry — this horse has won 3 times from just 9 races, which works out to 1 in every 3. That's a dramatically better record than it posts overall, and it's the kind of stat that a shrewd punter would quietly bookmark. When the ground comes up right, this horse becomes a genuinely different proposition.

The partnership with jockey Lee Edwards is the constant thread running through all of this. Edwards has been aboard for 15 of the 16 career races, winning 2 of them — roughly 1 in every 7 rides together, or 13%. That's not a spectacular ratio, but the sheer consistency of the pairing means the two know each other well. The first career win came at Chepstow in March 2025, and Edwards was there for the Warwick victory this week too. When a horse and jockey spend that much time together, there's a shorthand between them that doesn't show up in the numbers.

At nine years old, some horses are winding down. Yes And Yes appears to be doing the opposite — arriving at a purple patch that suggests there may be another win or two still to come before the season is out.
