Eclipse Chaser
Eclipse Chaser is a 6-year-old carrying the hopes of a yard in fine form but nursing a growing frustration of its own. Trained by Willie Mullins at Muine Bheag in County Carlow—a stable that has already sent out 215 winners this season—the horse has managed just one victory from 11 career races, a win that came at Navan on 20 September 2025 and now sits ten months in the past. That single success gives him a 9 percent win rate, meaning he wins roughly once every eleven times he races. It is a modest record, and the drought since last autumn suggests the yard is still searching for the right level and conditions to bring out his best.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent picture is one of near-misses and disappointment. In his last six races, Eclipse Chaser has finished third once and unplaced five times, a sequence that prompted Mullins to reconsider his approach. After a tiring run in a Grade 3 race at Navan on Sunday, the trainer concluded that his horse might benefit from easier company and better ground conditions—soft or muddy turf has not suited him, and the trainer believes he will be more at home on faster, drier going. Paul Townend, the yard's most frequent pilot aboard Eclipse Chaser, has ridden him five times and won once, a 20 percent win rate that at least hints the pair can click when conditions align. With the horse active and still racing, there remains hope that a drop in class and a stretch of firmer ground might unlock another victory after a long wait.
