Chanceawetmorning

Over a career of 14 races, Chanceawetmorning has won twice and placed six times — finishing in the top three on 8 of 14 outings in total. A win rate of around 1 in every 7 races might not sound spectacular in isolation, but paired with all those placings, it paints a picture of a horse that rarely runs a bad race. It shows up, it competes, and it keeps finding the frame.

The timing of those wins is particularly encouraging. The first came at Kilbeggan in late April 2026, and just three weeks later the horse followed up at Clonmel on 14 May — suggesting this is a horse peaking at just the right time rather than a one-off fluke. Back-to-back wins, at two different tracks, points to genuine form rather than a horse that fluked one result on a good day.

One detail that stands out is how the horse performs on slightly soft ground — wet enough to take the sting out of the earth, but not the heavy, churned-up kind that tests every horse's stamina. On that type of surface, Chanceawetmorning has won 2 of 4 races, a remarkable 50% win rate. That is one in every two attempts — the kind of number that makes you sit up straight. In racing, knowing what conditions a horse thrives in is half the battle, and this one has a very clear preference.

Behind all of this is Gordon Elliott, one of the most prolific training operations in Ireland. His yard has sent out 210 winners already this season — a staggering number that reflects a large string of horses managed to a very high standard. When a horse like Chanceawetmorning starts clicking into form under Elliott's care, it is worth taking notice. Raced just one day ago and still active, this is a horse in the middle of its best run yet.
