Battle Borne
With just one win from twenty races, it operates at a 5% win rate—meaning it wins roughly once every twenty outings, a modest return for any horse competing under rules. That single victory came at Dundalk on 20 February 2026, but seven months have now passed without another success, despite five places sprinkled among recent efforts.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs best over distances between 7 furlongs and a mile, where it has won 1 from 6 races (17%)—a genuinely better win rate at that specific trip. Patrick J McKenna's yard at Dugannon, Co Tyrone, has its hands full with horses of higher ability this season, having saddled only four winners overall. Patrick McGettigan, the jockey most regularly in the saddle, has ridden Battle Borne five times and won once together (20%), suggesting a working partnership that occasionally clicks. Most recently, Battle Borne raced a day ago and finished out of the placings after taking second place in its previous outing. The horse remains active on the circuit, but the absence of another win in six consecutive races hints that stepping back up to the winner's enclosure will require genuine improvement in form.
