A Boy Named Susie
There is something immediately likeable about a horse called A Boy Named Susie, and so far the racing has matched the charm of the name. This three-year-old has won 1 from 5 races — a 20% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5 — and has placed in 3 of those, meaning it has come away with something to show for itself in 4 of its 5 outings. That is a pretty consistent record for a young horse still finding its feet.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The one win came at Killarney in July 2025, and that track seems to suit. Over the middle distances — between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs — A Boy Named Susie has won 1 from 3 races, a rate of 33%, or 1 in every 3. That is notably better than its overall record, which suggests the horse has a type of race it genuinely enjoys rather than just turning up and getting by.
The yard behind it is Donnacha Aidan O'Brien's operation in Ballyroe, County Tipperary, and it has been in fine form this season with 30 winners sent out. That level of output means horses in this yard tend to be placed in races thoughtfully, and a horse with a win on its record and three places from five starts will be attracting attention. The recent form — finishing third and second in its last two races — shows it is running consistently well even if it has not quite got back to the winner's enclosure since Killarney. It raced just one day ago, so this is a horse very much in the thick of its season right now.
