Court Of Session

Court Of Session is a 7-year-old who knows how to find the winner's enclosure just often enough to keep his the yard interested. Over 55 career races he has won 6 times and placed 16 times — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 attempts — which puts him firmly in the category of a decent, consistent campaigner rather than a star in the making. His most recent victory came at Nottingham three months ago, and he raced just yesterday, so he remains an active and regular runner.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's Detailed Breakdown
Auto-Generated

The horse performs noticeably better when stepped up to distances between 1 mile 1 furlong and 1 mile 2 furlongs, winning 4 of his 22 races at those trips — an 18% win rate, nearly double his overall win rate. This is the sweet spot where he seems to show most appetite. At the tougher Class 6 level, however, the picture changes: he has managed just 1 win from 15 races, suggesting that when the opposition gets seriously competitive, Court Of Session struggles to deliver. His recent form has been modest, with just one win in his last six races, the victory coming three months back.

Phil McEntee's Newmarket yard trains him, and the stable has enjoyed a reasonably productive season with 17 winners to date. Harry Burns is his most regular jockey, though the pair have managed only 1 win together from 7 races, a 14% win rate that hints at a working relationship that hasn't quite clicked. Court Of Session's career earnings to date are modest — the scale of his prize money suggests he is essentially a bread-and-butter performer, reliable enough to run regularly but unlikely to pay for his oats through spectacular success alone. At seven years old, he remains sound and active, and at his level of competition, he could have several more seasons ahead of him.
