Bynx

There's a stubborn charm to a horse that keeps turning up, and at 8 years old, Bynx has been around long enough to earn a reputation. Trained by Martin Hassett out of Burnchurch in County Tipperary, this is a horse with 51 races under its belt and four wins to show for it — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 13 races. That sounds modest, and honestly, it is. But raw win percentages don't tell the whole story, because Bynx has also placed 15 times. This is a horse that gets involved, finishes in the mix, and rarely embarrasses itself.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most interesting thread in the record is Tramore. Two wins from seven races at that track makes Bynx something of a local specialist — winning 2 in 7 anywhere is solid, but at a specific course it suggests a genuine affinity, whether that's the layout, the ground, or simply familiarity. The first career win came there back in June 2023, which means when the entries go up for Tramore, this is a name worth circling. The most recent win, though, came at Thurles in October 2025 — around seven months ago — so Bynx has been in winning form within living memory, which counts for something.

On normal ground, the record reads 2 wins from 15 races, a win rate of around 13%, or roughly 1 in 8. That's actually the best version of this horse — better than the career average suggests. Recent form shows a mixed picture: a win, a couple of mid-field efforts, and one rough day. But the horse raced just yesterday, which tells you everything about its durability and the yard's confidence in keeping it active.

Wayne Hassett — likely a family connection to the trainer — has ridden Bynx in 10 races without a win together, which is one of those statistics that sticks out. It doesn't mean the partnership is wrong, but it is a notable blank. Martin Hassett's yard has sent out 10 winners already this season, so there's clearly ability in the operation. Bynx may not be the stable star, but it's a reliable, experienced campaigner that knows its best tracks and still has another win in it somewhere — probably at Tramore, when the conditions are right.
