The wins themselves tell a story of a horse that runs best at middle-distance courses. Zowal took its first victory at Musselburgh in April 2025, then struck again at Pontefract just over a year later, in April 2026. Both are tight, turning tracks that suit a certain type of runner—horses that are nimble and can handle a bit of cut in the ground. Away from those courses, the record is less impressive. In three races at Class 4 level, the top tier where Zowal has competed, it has failed to win, suggesting there are limits to what this horse can achieve against the very best.
The recent form is mixed. Zowal raced just yesterday and finished fourth, part of a scatter of results over the last six runs that includes a pair of third-place finishes and a win, but also some well-beaten efforts. That fourth-place finish last month came after five months without a victory, since the Pontefract win in April 2026. Trained by John and Sean Quinn's Norton yard, which has been prolific this season with 44 winners, Zowal remains active and in work. For a horse at this level, consistency rather than brilliance is the ceiling, but when the conditions and the jockey align, Zowal has shown it can still find the winner's circle.
