Across those 18 races, Supreme Jet has won 3 and finished in the places a further 8 times, giving it a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 outings, or about 17%. That is a decent enough strike — sorry, a decent enough return — for a horse operating at this level, though the more telling story is the consistency. Eight places alongside three wins means Supreme Jet has had something to show for the journey more often than not. It is the kind of horse that keeps turning up and keeps making the frame, which any trainer will tell you is worth something.
The trainer in this case is Oliver McKiernan, based at Rathcoole in County Dublin. The yard has sent out four winners this season, and Supreme Jet has just contributed one of them. McKiernan is not a household name in the way some larger Irish operations are, which makes getting a winner on the board all the more satisfying — every one counts when you are running a smaller yard.
The most interesting wrinkle in Supreme Jet's story might be its partnership with jockey Phillip Enright. The pair have ridden together six times and have yet to win — zero from six. That is not a damning statistic on its own, sport is full of combinations that work eventually, but it does mean that when Supreme Jet finally got its head in front this week, it did so without Enright in the saddle. It is the kind of detail that racing enthusiasts enjoy filing away.
Recent form tells a solid story: in the last six races, Supreme Jet has recorded a win, a second, and two thirds among those runs — plenty of near-misses before the breakthrough came. First career win at Punchestown back in January 2022, and now a winner just this week at Wexford. At ten years old, Supreme Jet is not a young horse by any measure, but it is clearly still in the game and, right now, finishing races with something to spare.
