Amirite

Across 22 races, Amirite has won 3 times and finished in the places a further 6 times — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 races, or 14% if you want the number. That's not spectacular on paper, but context matters. Henry De Bromhead's yard in Knockeen, Co Waterford, is one of the most respected operations in Irish racing — 106 winners in the current season alone — and a horse doesn't keep getting a run at that level without earning its place.

What makes Amirite genuinely interesting is what happens when it goes to Kilbeggan. That small, tight track in the Irish midlands suits this horse like a favourite armchair: 2 wins from just 3 visits, a remarkable record that translates to winning on two-thirds of its appearances there. Its very first career win came at Kilbeggan in April 2022, and its most recent came there too, in July 2025 — so the track has bookended some of the best moments of its career. When Amirite heads to Kilbeggan, you pay attention. When it goes anywhere else, it's a different story. Across all other tracks combined, it has won just once, and when pitched into the very top races — Class 1 competition, the elite level — it hasn't managed a win from three attempts. That's not unusual; those races attract the best horses in the sport. But it does paint a clear picture of where this horse is at its most dangerous.

Rachael Blackmore, one of the most celebrated jockeys in the world, has been the regular partner — 12 races together, 2 wins, a win rate of 17%, or roughly 1 in every 6. That's a meaningful partnership, and worth watching. Amirite also does its best racing on normal ground; on standard conditions it wins 1 in every 4 races, which is a strong return.

Recent form shows a mixture — a win, a couple of mid-field finishes, and two unfinished runs — but Amirite raced just 24 days ago and is firmly active. A ten-year-old still running and still winning at this level deserves a certain respect.
