Kizlyar
At four years old, Kizlyar is still finding its feet in racing terms, but it has already shown enough to suggest there is plenty more to come. From five races so far, it has won once and finished in the places three more times — a win rate of 20%, or 1 in every 5 races — which means it has rarely been far from the action. Only one run has genuinely disappointed, and that kind of consistency is exactly what a trainer wants to see from a young horse still learning its trade.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That first win came at Killarney on 12 May 2026 — just days ago — and it is the result that changes the story. Breaking through for a first career victory is a significant moment for any horse, and doing it at a track like Killarney, set against the backdrop of the Kerry mountains, makes it one to remember. Kizlyar arrives at this point with its best run yet on the board and every reason to build on it.
Behind the horse stands one of Ireland's most formidable training operations. Joseph Patrick O'Brien, based at Owning Hill in County Kilkenny, has already sent out 160 winners this season alone — a figure that speaks for itself. Running a yard that productive requires exceptional organisation and an eye for placing horses in the right races at the right time. Kizlyar is in good hands, and with a fresh win on the record and momentum clearly building, the next chapter looks an interesting one to follow.
