Brave Empire
Brave Empire has been a steady hand for trainer
Ivan Furtado's yard at Wiseton, though the five-year-old horse has found the top flight increasingly tough. With 3 wins and 5 places from 28 races, the horse has won roughly 1 in every 9 attempts — a modest win rate that reflects the reality of competing regularly against better-class opposition. The wins have come at Class 4 level, where Brave Empire has converted 1 of 8 races into victory, suggesting that is roughly the horse's natural level.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The highlight came at Lingfield Park on 4 February 2024, when Brave Empire won a Class 2 race on the artificial surface — a rare triumph at that level that stands out against the horse's usual form. That win now sits 30 months in the past, however. The horse has not found the winner's enclosure since, drawing blanks across the last six runs. Recent form reads 10-7-4-5-13-9, a sequence that includes a couple of placing finishes but mostly middle-order finishes. With a race just one day ago, Brave Empire remains actively campaigned, though finding a breakthrough after such a long drought will not be easy. The horse appears to be a Class 4 specialist at best — a reliable sort in the right company, but one whose window at the higher levels may have already closed.
