Autumn Twist

The partnership with jockey Daniel King has been the most productive chapter of this horse's career. In seven races together, King has steered Autumn Twist to 2 wins — a win rate of roughly 1 in 3 — which is a meaningful number. Finding a jockey who clicks with a particular horse matters enormously, and these two appear to have found something that works.

The trainer behind the operation is Denis Gerard Hogan, who runs his yard out of Cloughjordan in County Tipperary. With 58 winners already sent out this season, Hogan is clearly having a productive year, and Autumn Twist is part of a string that knows how to win races. Horses from busy, confident yards tend to arrive at the track in good order, and that context matters.

On ground conditions, the picture is clear: on normal going, Autumn Twist has won 3 from 7 races — a 43% win rate, or nearly 1 in every 2 outings. That is a sharp improvement on its overall record and suggests the horse is a different proposition when conditions suit. Recent form has been patchy — two eighth-place finishes followed by a third and a fifth — but the last win came at Bellewstown on 5 July 2025, suggesting this is a horse that can still produce when everything lines up. The first career win came at Killarney in May 2025, so this is not a long history but it is a focused and developing one.

Raced just 16 days ago, Autumn Twist is active and in training. The best distance appears to be somewhere between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, where it has won 1 from 3 races. A horse with this profile — consistent placer, a reliable jockey partner, a trainer in form, and a strong preference for normal ground — is the kind of runner that can find its moment on the right day.
