Nouvotic

The broader numbers are impressive too. Four wins and six places from just 11 races means Nouvotic has finished in the top three almost every time it has run, winning at a rate of roughly 1 in every 3 races — well above the average for most horses at this level. The recent form makes it look even sharper: three wins from its last six outings, with the sequence reading 1-1-6-1-3-4 going back from the most recent. That one blip — a sixth-place finish sandwiched between back-to-back wins — barely dents the picture.

The most recent victory came just this week at Punchestown on 29 April 2026, which confirms this is a horse in the form of its life at seven years old. Punchestown is no Wexford — it is a bigger, more demanding track that hosts some of the most prestigious races in Ireland — so winning there adds a different dimension to what Nouvotic has achieved.

In the saddle most often is Darragh O'Keeffe, who has partnered the horse in six of its 11 races and won twice together, a win rate of around 1 in 3. That is a solid partnership rather than a transformative one, though the numbers suggest the pair know each other well enough by now. Behind it all is trainer Henry De Bromhead, operating out of Knockeen in County Waterford, one of the most respected yards in Irish racing. With 107 winners already on the board this season, De Bromhead's team is running at full tilt — and Nouvotic, quietly building a flawless record at Wexford while picking off wins at bigger venues too, looks like one of the more satisfying horses in the string right now.
