Lermoos Legend

There's something quietly remarkable about a horse still running competitively at 11 years old, and Lermoos Legend is doing exactly that — raced just yesterday and showing no signs of slowing down. Over a career spanning 40 races, this horse has won 5 times and placed in 23 others, meaning it has finished in the frame in well over half its races. That's not a flashy record, but it tells you something important: this is a horse that turns up, competes hard, and rarely has a bad day.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The recent form is genuinely eye-catching. In the last six races, Lermoos Legend has won twice and finished second once, with the other three runs producing fourth, sixth, and second place finishes — reading those results backwards, you see a horse that peaked mid-sequence, stayed competitive throughout, and is clearly in good heart right now. The most recent win came at Fontwell Park in September 2025, and the fact that the horse raced again just yesterday shows the team at Haverfordwest are confident enough in its wellbeing to keep it busy.

That yard, run by Mickey Bowen, has been in fine form — 47 winners sent out this season alone, which marks them out as a yard operating with real momentum. The man most often on board is Sean Bowen, who has partnered Lermoos Legend in 29 of its 40 races and is responsible for all 5 wins. That's a win rate of roughly 1 in 6 races together, which is meaningfully better than the horse's overall average, and suggests the pair have developed a genuine understanding over time. A jockey and horse working together across 29 races is a proper long-term relationship by any measure.

Conditions matter with this horse. On slightly soft, wet ground, Lermoos Legend wins 2 from 8 races — that's a 25% win rate, or 1 in every 4 outings — which is significantly sharper than its overall career average of roughly 1 in 8. When the ground gets testing, this horse finds another gear. Most of its racing has come at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle of the sport's pecking order, and it has won 3 of those 19 races at that level. Not a horse chasing glory at the very top, but a genuine, durable competitor who keeps delivering at its level — and at 11 years old, still doing it.
