Backinabit
Backinabit is a 7-year-old who knows what it feels like to win, but not often enough. The horse has managed just 1 win from 15 races across its career—roughly 1 in every 15 outings—plus a single placing finish. That win came at Wexford on 3 July 2026, and it remains the high point so far. Three months have passed since then without another trip to the winners' circle, though recent form shows some promise: the horse finished 1st in one of its last six races, though the most recent outing produced an 8th-place finish.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Denis Gerard Hogan at Cloughjordan in County Tipperary, Backinabit runs from a yard in good health. Hogan has saddled 54 winners already this season, showing the stable knows how to get horses to the line. The partnership with jockey James O'Sullivan, however, has yet to click: they have teamed up five times without success. Backinabit is very much a work in progress, the kind of horse that has glimpsed the winner's enclosure but is still searching for the consistency that separates the useful from the ordinary. Still, with a win already in the record book and Denis Gerard Hogan's proven track record, there remains scope for this horse to develop into a more regular winning proposition.
