Bowgate Street
Bowgate Street is a seven-year-old with a modest record—two wins from 33 races across its career—but there is one place where this horse genuinely belongs: Sligo. In eight races at that track, it has won twice, including victories on 25 October 2024 and most recently on 12 May 2026, just four months ago. That is a win rate of 1 in every 4 races there, a stark contrast to its overall record of roughly 1 win in every 17 attempts. For a horse that has won only twice in its entire career, having a track where it performs this consistently well is not just interesting—it is its whole story.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Beyond Sligo, the picture is less encouraging. Bowgate Street has not won anywhere else, and it has not found the winner's circle in any of its last six races, most recently finishing tenth just a day ago. It is a horse that places regularly enough—nine times from 33 races—so it is competitive and shows up to compete, but that winning edge has clearly dulled away from home. Ridden regularly by Darragh O'Keeffe, the partnership has produced no wins from eleven races together. Trained by M Flannery at an undisclosed yard, Bowgate Street is one of only two winners the yard has managed all season, which underlines how rare a commodity wins are for this horse. At seven years old, Bowgate Street is in the middle stretch of its racing life, but the recent form suggests the journey back to another victory may be a long one unless the racing gods smile on it again at Sligo.
