Chosen Shant

The overall numbers are modest. Two wins and 10 places from 30 races tells you this is a horse that competes honestly and shows up in the frame regularly, but rarely gets its nose in front. At 10 years old, it has been around long enough to know its job, and the recent form — finishing third and fourth in its last two completed runs — suggests it is still putting in respectable efforts. It raced just one day ago, so this is very much a horse in active training.

Jockey E Walsh has been the regular partner, but the pair haven't clicked in the winner's enclosure yet — 0 wins from 7 rides together. That's not necessarily anyone's fault; sometimes a combination just hasn't found its moment. Trainer Aengus King, based in Newmarket-On-Fergus in County Clare, has sent out 5 winners this season, so the yard is clearly capable of getting horses ready to win.

What makes Chosen Shant genuinely worth following is simple: point it towards Wexford and the equation changes completely. Its last win came there on 8 August 2025, and its first career win was also at that track just weeks earlier in July. Two wins, same venue, within the space of a few weeks — that's not a coincidence, that's a horse that has found its place. The next time Wexford appears in its schedule, pay attention.
