Puturhandstogether

Puturhandstogether has won at the top level, but lately the wins have dried up. The 5-year-old claimed a Class 1 victory at Cheltenham in March 2025, a significant achievement that showed it belonged among the best. Yet in the six races since then, the horse has managed only a handful of places and nothing better. Four wins from 23 races overall—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 attempts—suggests a horse that performs when conditions suit, but struggles to string wins together consistently.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Joseph Patrick O'Brien's yard at Owning Hill has sent out 160 winners this season, a powerhouse operation, and the trainer clearly believes in Puturhandstogether. The horse races best over longer distances, between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, where it has won one of three races. More telling is its specialist record at The Curragh: two wins from four races there, including a victory on 28 September 2024. That form on familiar ground suggests the horse has a place where it genuinely thrives, even if the wins have not come recently.

Mark Walsh, the jockey who has ridden the horse seven times, has won twice in the saddle—a 29% win rate with this particular mount. That partnership shows promise, though the recent losing streak has tested both horse and rider. With the horse still active and having raced just a day ago, there remains time for the form to turn. Whether Puturhandstogether can find its way back to the winner's circle, or whether that Cheltenham Class 1 win remains its peak, will depend on whether O'Brien can piece together the right circumstances: the right track, the right distance, and the right break in the form line.
