Ballycamus
Ballycamus is a nine-year-old campaigner who has won 8 races from 31 starts—a solid 26% win rate that speaks to a genuinely useful horse in the right conditions. He finished in the top 3 in half of those races, which shows real consistency at his level. What's most encouraging is his recent form: he won this week at Ffos Las on 14 October, and over his last six races has posted two victories alongside some respectable finishes, suggesting he still has plenty to give at nine years old.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse races for the Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies yard at Naunton in Gloucestershire, a stable that has already sent out 62 winners this season. Most of his racing has come under jockey Sam Twiston-Davies, who has piloted him to 4 wins from 21 rides together—a 19% win rate that shows a strong working relationship. Ballycamus typically competes in Class 4 races, where he has won 2 of 15 starts, though he clearly has the ability to win at this level when conditions and fortune align.
He is a specialist at Ludlow, where he has won 2 of his 5 races there—a notable win rate that suggests the track suits him. For a nine-year-old, Ballycamus remains active and capable, and his recent win proves he can still find the winner's enclosure at the sharp end of his career. He is worth watching in races at his preferred courses.
