Patrick Street

The key is conditions. On wet or muddy ground, Patrick Street is a different animal entirely. He has won 2 of his 7 races on that surface — that's nearly 1 in every 3, compared to just 1 win from his remaining 37 races on other ground. That kind of gap is not a coincidence; it is a genuine preference, the sort of thing a good trainer spots and plans around. Andrew Kinirons, based in Newbridge, Co Kildare, clearly knows his horse: the yard has sent out 5 winners already this season, and Patrick Street's most recent win came just three weeks ago at Limerick on 25 April 2026, suggesting the team have found exactly the right spots for him.

Distance matters too. Over 1 mile 3 furlongs to 1 mile 4 furlongs, he has won 2 of 11 races — about 1 in every 5 — which is a solid record at that trip and well above his overall average. Horses who have a specific distance sweet spot are more predictable than their overall record suggests, and at a mile and a half in the mud, Patrick Street becomes genuinely interesting.

His recent form reads 3-1-–-11-5-10, which tells a familiar story of inconsistency — but that third-place finish and, crucially, that win show the talent is still there at seven years old. He raced just yesterday, so he is clearly in an active campaign right now. Jack Kearney has partnered him 13 times for that 1 win together, a modest record on the numbers, but the combination clearly works well enough to keep the partnership going.

Patrick Street is never going to be the horse that wins big prizes — his career earnings point to a solid, honest competitor at a moderate level. But on the right day, over the right distance, when the rain has come and the ground is soft underfoot, he is exactly the kind of horse worth keeping an eye on.
