Accustomed
Accustomed is a six-year-old horse who has finally found his level at Bellewstown. The horse won his only race at that track back in July 2026, and has only managed one victory from 15 races overall — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 15 starts. While that sounds modest, his recent form suggests there may be more to come. In his last six races, he has finished in the top 3 twice, most recently running second just a day ago. The fact that he is still active and racing regularly at this age shows his trainer,
E D Delany, believes there is still value in keeping him competing.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Bellewstown clearly suits this horse in a way most tracks do not. One victory from his career record of 15 races might not grab headlines, but winning at a specific course is often a sign that something about the place — the track layout, the ground, or simply the type of race offered there — plays to a horse's strengths. With the yard based at Laytown in County Meath, Bellewstown is a natural fit, and Accustomed's July victory there remains his benchmark performance. Whether he can add to that tally and catch lightning in a bottle again remains to be seen, but at six years old and still competing, he is clearly not finished yet.
