Navagio
Navagio is a seven-year-old who has seen better days. With just three wins from 36 races, the horse has won at a rate of roughly 1 in every 12 attempts — a modest win rate that reflects a career spent competing in the middle tier of Irish racing without ever quite becoming a consistent winner. The last victory came at Gowran Park on 29 July 2023, now more than three years in the past, and the recent form tells an unhappy story: the horse has not crossed the line in front in its last six races, with results of 6th, 9th, 14th, 6th, 15th, and 15th. That last race was just yesterday, suggesting Navagio is still being given opportunities despite the drought.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
There are a couple of threads worth following. The horse clearly prefers wet or muddy ground — it has won 2 of 13 races on the soft stuff (15%), compared to its overall win rate of just 8%, which is a noticeable advantage. It also runs best over middle distances between 1m1f and 1m2f, where it has managed 2 wins from 16 races, again above its average. Ben Coen, its most frequent rider, has won once aboard Navagio in seven attempts (14%), which is slightly better than the overall record but hardly conclusive. Trainer Ciaran Murphy's Mullingar yard has been productive this season with 18 winners, but Navagio does not appear to be one of the yard's success stories. When stepped up to compete in Class 2 races — the top tier — the horse has won none from six attempts, a clear signal that it lacks the class required at that level.
The facts suggest a veteran plodder who has earned its keep but will likely never win again. Still, it races on.
