The career started to take shape at Listowel in September 2024, when Champagne Kid landed a first win. Listowel is one of Irish racing's most beloved festivals — a proper week-long celebration in County Kerry — so breaking the duck there rather than at a quiet midweek fixture was a decent statement. Since then the horse has kept progressing, and the highlight so far came at Leopardstown on 29 December 2025, a track that carries genuine prestige on the Irish calendar. Winning there around the festive period, when competition sharpens considerably, is not something every horse manages.
What makes recent form interesting is the shape of it. Reading the last six races from most recent backwards — a non-completion, then back-to-back wins, then a third, then sixth — tells a story of a horse that hit a rich vein of form, rattling off 2 wins from 6 recent races, before something interrupted the run. That blank in the sequence is worth watching, but the horse raced just one day ago and remains active, so P E Collins clearly has faith that there is more to come. With 8 places alongside those 3 wins, this is also a horse that rarely runs badly — it finishes in the money more often than not, which any owner will tell you counts for something.
