Katherine

At nine years old and with 44 races under her belt, Katherine is very much a seasoned campaigner. She has won 3 of those 44 races — a win rate of around 1 in every 15 outings — and has picked up places in 9 more, which paints the picture of a horse that competes honestly without quite reaching the top step all that often. That said, a career record like this tells you something important: she keeps turning up. At her age and with this many races behind her, she clearly has the constitution and the temperament to keep going.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her best days appear to have come in conditions most horses would rather avoid. On wet, soft ground she has won 2 of her 10 races — that is a 20% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5 times she has raced in those conditions. That is a striking contrast to her overall numbers, and it is the kind of stat that makes experienced racegoers sit up and take notice when the forecast turns grey.

The partnership with Mr H E Sexton is the one that has brought out the best in her. Across 27 races together, he has ridden her to all 3 of her career wins — a win rate of 11%, or roughly 1 in every 9 races as a pair. When you consider her overall win rate of 1 in 15, that is a meaningful uplift. Trainer Adrian Sexton's yard at Athy in Co Kildare has sent out 2 winners this season, so it is not a powerhouse operation — which makes each of those victories feel a little more earned.

The last win came at Fairyhouse in October 2024, now 19 months ago, and recent form reads as eight finishes well down the field. The second place in her most recent sequence is the one encouraging note — it shows she can still be competitive — but the overall picture is of a horse whose best days may be behind her. Still, she raced just one day ago, which means she is fit, active, and still out there doing what she does. For Katherine, that might be the whole point.
