Charlie Brow'n
The six-year-old won his first race in October at Navan and has managed just one win from his 20 career outings — a 5% win rate that speaks to a horse always searching for his niche. With one place finish in his last six races, he is in the midst of a difficult spell, though a run seven days ago suggests he remains active and his trainer,
T J O'Mara, continues to test him in different conditions.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The partnership with jockey Wayne Lordan offers a glimmer of hope. In six rides together, Lordan has won once on Charlie Brow'n — a 17% win rate that is double the horse's overall record and suggests the pairing clicks. What works in the horse's favour is his preferred distance: at races between one mile six furlongs and two miles, he has won 1 of 6 attempts, again hitting that 17% win rate. This isn't a horse dominating his right trip, but it's where his talent appears strongest. Until his breakthrough win at Navan eleven months ago, Charlie Brow'n had never quite managed the step up — and since that October victory, he has chased another win without success. At six years old, he is not getting any younger, and the long gap since his last victory suggests the yard is still hunting for the right race, the right ground, and the right moment to get him back into the winners' circle.
