Butch Coolidge
Butch Coolidge is a 6-year-old who has found the racing game tough, winning just once in ten attempts. That single victory came at Tramore on 30 May 2026, and it remains his only taste of success — a long three months ago now. He has placed second once as well, which gives him a record of 1 win and 1 place from 10 races overall. His recent form tells the story of a horse still chasing another breakthrough: across his last six races he has finished unplaced, fourth, fifth, seventh, and unplaced again, with that sole victory further back in the record. He is currently active and raced just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by David Harry Kelly at Rathvin in County Tipperary, Butch Coolidge runs from a yard that has already sent out 13 winners this season, so he has plenty of support and experience around him. At six years old, he is no newcomer to racing — horses have normally found their level by this age — yet the long gap since his last win suggests he may be operating at a level where consistent success is simply hard to come by. For a horse who has managed only 10% of his races as wins, finding that magic combination of the right race, the right ground, and the right circumstances again will be the challenge ahead.
