Kershaw
Only two races into its career, Kershaw has already made a strong impression. The five-year-old won on its debut at Kilbeggan on 24 April 2026 and then followed up with a fourth-place finish next time out — a record of one win and one place from two races that any young horse's team would be happy with at this early stage.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Kershaw is trained by Paul Traynor, whose yard is based in Templepatrick, Co Antrim. It is a small operation that has sent out one winner this season — and Kershaw is it. For a yard of that size, landing a winner is no small thing, and having a horse with this kind of early promise gives them something genuinely exciting to build on.
With just two races to go on, there is not much history to analyse — but that is part of what makes Kershaw interesting. A horse that wins first time out and then runs respectably in fourth has shown it can compete, and at five years old, there is every reason to think the best is still to come.
