The overall career record — 4 wins and 6 places from 17 races, a win rate of around 1 in every 4 — is solid for this level, but the recent numbers are what really catch the eye. Over the last six races, Buddy Batt has won 3 of them, finishing first, first, and first in amongst a couple of off days. That kind of hot streak is exactly what you want to see heading into a race. The horse also clearly has a preference for normal ground conditions, winning 3 of 7 races on a standard surface — it is no coincidence that those figures overlap so neatly with the Dundalk record.
Trained by Tracey Collins at The Curragh in County Kildare, one of Irish racing's most famous addresses, Buddy Batt is part of a yard that has already sent out four winners this season. Regular jockey Dean Curran has been in the saddle for 7 of the 17 career races, winning once together — a modest partnership on paper, though the horse's best recent performances tell a more encouraging story. Racing just yesterday, Buddy Batt is as active as it gets, and with Dundalk seemingly unlocking something in this horse, any future entry there will be worth paying attention to.
