Across a career of 13 races, this five-year-old has won 6 times and placed in 9 — meaning it has finished in the prize money in almost every race it has entered. A 46% win rate, nearly 1 in every 2 races, is genuinely exceptional. Most good horses in training win somewhere between 1 in 5 and 1 in 4. Winning nearly every other time out puts Bucanero Fuerte in a different bracket entirely, and trainer Robson De Aguiar, operating out of Mullingar in Westmeath, deserves real credit for that. His yard has already sent out 10 winners this season alone, so this is not a one-horse operation — this is a stable in form.
The partnership with jockey David Egan is another thread worth pulling. In 7 races together they have won 3 times — a win rate of 43%, or nearly 3 wins from every 7 rides. That is an unusually productive combination, and when you see Egan booked for this horse, history says it matters.
The one honest caveat is what happens when the level rises. In 3 races at the very top tier — Class 1, the biggest races in Britain and Ireland — Bucanero Fuerte has not yet managed a win. Those are harder fields, stronger horses, smaller margins. It is not unusual for a horse to dominate at one level and find the next step up a different challenge entirely.
Recent form reads 1-1-3-7-1-7 in reverse, so the last two outings have been a win and a placing — the horse is running well right now. It raced just yesterday, which means it is fit, active, and clearly being kept busy. The last win came at The Curragh in August 2025. If the yard keep pointing it back there, do not be surprised when it wins again.
