Ehteyat

The distances of one mile six furlongs up to two miles suit it best, and the numbers back that up clearly: 3 wins from 14 races at those trips, or just over 1 in every 5. That's not a coincidence — it's a horse that needs time to settle and finds its rhythm over a proper distance. Equally telling is its preference for normal ground conditions, where it has won twice from just 7 races, a rate of 29%, or almost 1 in every 3. When the ground comes up right and the trip is generous, Ehteyat is a different proposition.

Its first career win came at Southwell in January 2023, and its most recent at Listowel in September 2025 — about eight months ago now. Listowel is a track with real character, popular and atmospheric, and winning there carries a little extra meaning. At Class 5 level, which is the tier where Ehteyat tends to do its best work, it has won 2 from 6 races — that's 1 in every 3, which is genuinely competitive and shows this horse is placed shrewdly by the yard.

Trained by M K Flannery out of Askeaton in County Limerick, the operation is a small one — just a single winner sent out so far this season — so every runner matters and every win counts. The recent run of form shows a sequence of 3, 2, 3, 6, 1, then a missed placing in the most recent outing, and it raced just yesterday, meaning it is right in the thick of an active campaign. Six races without a win is a streak worth watching, but the places are still coming, and with the right ground and a suitable trip, Ehteyat has shown enough in its career to suggest another win isn't far away.
