Michael's Well

At just three years old, Michael's Well is still finding its feet in racing, but what it has shown so far suggests there is plenty more to come. Across four races, it has won once and finished in the places twice — a record that translates to winning 1 in every 4 races, which is a solid return for a young horse still learning the game.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That win came at Navan on 22 October 2025, and it remains the standout moment of the career so far. What makes it worth noting is the recent form sequence: the last four runs read 8-6-1-2, meaning Michael's Well went from finishing well down the field to winning, then followed that up with a place next time out. That kind of improvement in a short space of time is exactly what you want to see from a young horse — it suggests the Navan win was not a fluke, but part of a genuine upward curve.

Behind the horse is the Curragh-based yard of Eddie and Patrick Harty, a father-and-son training partnership operating out of one of Irish racing's most famous addresses. With 17 winners already on the board this season, this is a team in form, and they clearly know how to place a horse to give it the best chance of winning. Michael's Well raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the thick of an active campaign right now.

The story here is one of a young horse beginning to put things together. The early runs were nothing special, but the jump to winning at Navan and then placing again afterwards points to a horse that is improving with experience — and at three, there should be more of that to come.
