Billie Frechette

Billie Frechette has the look of a solid, consistent racehorse who knows how to pick up a place or two but doesn't quite have the finishing touch to win often. In 29 races, the five-year-old has won just three times — roughly one victory every ten attempts — and finished second or third in 13 others. That's respectable work, the kind of record that keeps a horse in work and pays its way, but there's a clear pattern: Billie shows up, runs decently, and often comes close without getting over the line.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The horse's last win came at Cork on 11 July 2025, now over a year ago, and recent form suggests the streak may not end soon. In the last six races, Billie has managed just one third-place finish and a pair of fourths, with a couple of runs well outside the placings. That's a run where the wheels have come off a bit. However, the horse has raced recently — just a day ago — which shows it remains an active part of trainer Noel Meade's yard at Castletown, Co Meath, a stable that has sent out 42 winners this season.

One genuine strength stands out: Billie wins on normal ground. On standard conditions, the horse has recorded two victories from 12 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in 6, which is significantly better than the overall record. That's worth noting for anyone watching the card — normal, dry ground brings out the best in this horse. Colin Keane, its most frequent jockey with eight rides, has won once aboard Billie, a 12% win rate that slightly edges the horse's overall numbers but not by much. Neither jockey nor horse has found the winning formula together yet, though Keane clearly knows the animal well enough to be its go-to rider.
