Battle Of Benburb

The recent form tells the story of a horse at the tail end of its career. In the last six outings, Battle Of Benburb has finished fourth and twelfth (unplaced in between), then ninth and fifth. There is no momentum here, no sign of improvement, and no real sense of threat to its rivals. The horse raced only a day ago, so it remains active, but the gaps between races suggest it no longer features in any trainer's regular plans. Kieren Buckley, its most frequent partner, has ridden it ten times for one win—a 10% return that still outperforms the horse's overall record. At this point, Battle Of Benburb is a veteran of the lower divisions, reliable enough perhaps to make up the numbers but with little left to prove.
