Chavajod

At eight years old and still active, the gelding has won 5 of his 51 races—roughly one win in every ten outings—a record that speaks to a workmanlike career spent competing against modest fields rather than chasing glory.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

His most recent win came three weeks ago at Laytown on 10 September, a victory that underlines his current form. His last six races tell a familiar story: a couple of placed efforts bracketed by several middle-of-the-field finishes. This is a horse hanging on, picking up the occasional win when the race falls right, but no longer at his sharpest. That first breakthrough came almost three and a half years ago at Leopardstown in May 2023, and while he has managed four more wins since then, the wins have become sparser and harder won. In his most recent run just a day ago, he finished thirteenth, suggesting the well has not run completely dry but that he is operating at the margins of competitive racing.

Trained by D P Coakley, Chavajod has been ridden most often by Ross Coakley—1 win from 14 races together, a 7% win rate. That modest win rate reflects the difficulty of maintaining momentum at this stage of a career. Chavajod is no fashionable runner and will never make headlines, but horses like him form the backbone of racing: honest, game, and still capable of a day in the sun.
