Battle Of Benburb

That sole career win came at Wexford back in August 2022, and it remains the only time Battle Of Benburb has hit the front. That was 45 months ago now, and nothing in the recent form suggests another win is imminent — the last six races have produced a string of mid-field finishes and non-completions, with a fifth place the best effort in that spell. The horse is still racing, having run just one day ago, which says something about the team's faith in keeping it active, but the results simply haven't followed.

Regular jockey Kieren Buckley knows this horse as well as anyone, having ridden it in 10 of its 24 races and partnering it for that one career win. That gives them a win rate of 1 in every 10 races together — not spectacular, but notably the only win on the board came with Buckley in the saddle, which means the combination has at least made history once. Whether they can do it again is the question the team will keep coming back to with every fresh entry.
