Carrig Wells
Carrig Wells is an 11-year-old who has made hard work of finding the winner's enclosure, collecting just 1 win and 5 places from 13 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 13 outings. That sole victory came at Cork on 1 April 2024, now more than two years ago, and there has been nothing to celebrate since. Recent form tells a familiar story: a run of sixth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-place finishes before the card went blank entirely on the most recent effort.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What keeps this profile interesting is the loyalty on display. Mr D M Fitzgerald has been in the saddle for 10 of those 13 races, winning once together — so the pair know each other well even if the results have rarely gone their way. The horse is trained by Martin Paul Fitzgerald at Killeagh in County Cork, a yard that has sent out 4 winners this season, suggesting the operation is in reasonable form even if Carrig Wells has not been the one delivering it. Cork is clearly the happy hunting ground — the only win in the record came there, and that connection to a local track is often the thread a trainer pulls hardest when trying to spark a revival. At 11, the clock is ticking, but Carrig Wells raced just one day ago, so the will to keep trying is clearly still there.
