Bowgate Street

His most recent win came three months ago in May at Sligo, and he returned to the track just yesterday, suggesting he remains active and competitive. His recent form has been mixed—a third-place finish two runs back followed by lower placings and also an eighth and a twelfth—the kind of up-and-down record that describes a horse still capable of finding the winner's circle but not reliably. Darragh O'Keeffe has been his regular pilot, riding him eleven times without a win, which hints that the magic happens more often with other jockeys in the saddle. Trained by M Flannery, Bowgate Street represents a yard that has sent out only 2 winners all season, suggesting a smaller operation working at modest levels. For a horse in his seventh year with just two career wins, Bowgate Street is doing what many horses do at this stage of life: scraping together prize money and the occasional victory, most reliably when the track beneath him is the one he knows best.
