Butch Coolidge
Butch Coolidge is a 6-year-old who has spent nearly a decade trying to crack racing at the highest level, and only recently found the winning formula. After eight races without success, the horse finally broke through at Tramore on 30 May 2026 — a first career win that came remarkably late in its racing life. Since that breakthrough three months ago, Butch Coolidge has raced five more times and hasn't managed another victory, finishing with a single placing, which puts the current win rate at 1 win from 9 races overall.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form reads 9-4-5-7-1-8 across the last six runs, suggesting inconsistency is the defining feature. That fourth-place finish and one outing that saw fourth place finish show the horse can occasionally get close to the money, but consistency remains elusive. With the yard having sent out 13 winners this season, trainer David Harry Kelly at Rathvin in Co Tipperary clearly knows how to get horses over the line — but Butch Coolidge hasn't been one of them since that May victory. The horse raced just a day ago, so it remains actively campaigned, though the three-month gap between wins is starting to look more like a one-off success than the beginning of a winning run.
