Ballybrittas
Seven years old and still searching for that elusive second win, Ballybrittas is a horse that has shown enough promise to keep the yard — sorry, to keep the team interested, but not quite enough to string together a consistent run of form. One win and three places from ten races means winning 1 in every 10 outings, which, while modest, tells only part of the story. Those three placed finishes suggest a horse that is competitive on its day, even if the winner's enclosure has proved difficult to reach.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That sole career victory came at Limerick back in October 2024 — now 19 months ago — and it remains the high point of a career that has since stalled. The last six runs read 5-4-7-10-9-2, a sequence that shows genuine inconsistency. A second-place finish is tucked in there, hinting that Ballybrittas can get close, but the two double-figure finishes suggest there are days when things just do not click at all.
Trained by P J Rothwell out of Tinahely in County Wicklow, Ballybrittas is in capable hands. Rothwell's yard has sent out 35 winners already this season, which marks it out as a productive and well-organised operation — this is not a horse gathering dust in a quiet corner. The fact that Ballybrittas raced just one day ago shows the team is actively campaigning the horse and clearly believes another good run — or better — is within reach. At seven, it is not young, but horses can absolutely find form at this age, and with a trainer firing on all cylinders, the opportunity is there.
