Ballysax Lil' Mick

What makes the profile interesting is that he won once and it mattered. After twelve months without another success, Lil' Mick is the kind of horse that shows up race after race, takes his chances, and occasionally gets his nose in front. He is still racing actively — his most recent run was just a day ago — which suggests his trainer Miss Katy Brown, based at an undisclosed yard, believes there is more work to be done. His best partnership is with jockey Killian Leonard, who has ridden him seven times and won on him once, a win rate of 14 percent, better than his overall record. When competing at the top of Class 6 races, though, the picture changes entirely: he has run in five of them and not won any, which hints that he needs the slightly easier opportunities to stay competitive. Lil' Mick is a campaigner, the sort of honest horse that keeps turning up. Whether a second win comes is another question, but the fact that he has already won once means it is not out of reach.
