Seskin Flash

There is something quietly tenacious about Seskin Flash. The seven-year-old has won 2 of 15 races across a career — roughly 1 in every 7 or 8 outings — which is a modest return on paper, but the story of the last six months tells a more interesting tale. Both of those career wins have come at Downpatrick, and they have come either side of the summer, suggesting this is a horse that has found its place in the world and knows exactly what to do when it gets there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The first of those wins came on 30 March 2025, which means Seskin Flash had been racing for a while before finally breaking through — so when the moment arrived, it clearly stuck. The horse went on to win again at the same track on 10 October 2025, and with a recent run of 8-4-3-1-4-1, there is real form here to respect. Two wins from the last six races is a sharp upturn from what the career record might suggest, and it hints at a horse that has found a groove rather than one scraping around for a result.

Behind the scenes, trainer J P Dempsey has had a productive season from his yard in Carbury, Co Kildare, sending out 16 winners. A trainer in that kind of form is usually making confident decisions about where to place their horses, and the fact that Seskin Flash has been pointed at Downpatrick twice and won twice says something about how well the team reads this horse. Seskin Flash raced just one day ago, so it is right in the middle of a busy spell — and with Downpatrick clearly the happy hunting ground, wherever the next run comes, the question worth asking is always the same: are they going back to the track that brought out the best?
