Bynx
Bynx is a horse that has found its home. The eight-year-old has spent most of its eight-year racing life chasing wins at tracks across Ireland and Britain, accumulating just five victories from 58 races — a modest 9% win rate overall. But at Tramore, a course on the County Waterford coast, Bynx becomes a different animal: it has won three of its nine races there, a win rate of one win in every three visits. That 17% success rate on normal ground suggests the horse prefers a track with standard conditions underfoot, and Tramore, where Bynx last won three months ago on 07 July, appears to suit it perfectly.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Martin Hassett at Burnchurch in County Tipperary, Bynx has been a steady if unspectacular earner. The yard has sent out ten winners this season, and while Bynx is not the headline act, it remains a reliable runner. Recent form has been mixed: a win, a fourth, another fourth, an eighth, a fourteenth, and a fourth from the last six races. The horse was last out just a day ago, suggesting it remains active and in regular work. Interestingly, Bynx's most frequent saddle companion has been jockey Wayne Hassett, but the pair have failed to strike in ten attempts together — a blank record that stands out against the horse's overall ability. Sometimes a horse and jockey simply do not click, and Bynx and Hassett appear to be one such pairing. What matters now is finding the right conditions and the right course again: Tramore has been kind to this horse, and if the yard can get it back there on normal ground, history suggests another win is within reach.
