Albion Power

There is something quietly stubborn about a horse that keeps coming back to the same track and eventually makes it pay. Albion Power has raced 17 times in total, winning just twice and placing on two other occasions — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races, or 12% if you want the number. On paper, that is modest. But look a little closer and a pattern emerges that makes those two wins rather more interesting than they first appear.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Both of those victories have come at Dundalk. The Irish all-weather track has been Albion Power's home from home, with the horse running there 14 times in total and winning on two of those occasions. That is not a coincidence — it is a preference. Some horses simply click with a particular track, whether it is the surface, the shape of the circuit, or something harder to explain. Whatever the reason, Dundalk is clearly where Albion Power shows up to do its best work.

The most recent win came on 29 October 2025, around seven months ago now, over a distance of seven furlongs to a mile — the range where this horse has produced its sharpest performances, winning 1 from 5 races at those trips, or 20% of the time. That is a meaningful uptick from its overall record and suggests the team at Keith Henry Clarke's yard in Drumree, Co. Meath, have a decent read on where to place this horse to give it the best chance.

Recent form tells a more complicated story. The last six runs show a win, then a string of unplaced efforts and mid-field finishes, with a fourth place mixed in. Albion Power raced just yesterday, so it is very much an active runner at five years old. Clarke's yard has sent out one winner this season, which means results have been hard to come by — making the moments when this horse delivers at Dundalk all the more worth paying attention to when the conditions and the distance line up.
