Chosen Shant
Chosen Shant is a ten-year-old who has found her home at Wexford. In a career spanning 39 races, she has won just four times — a win rate of roughly one in every ten starts — but three of those victories have come at the same track. She is a course specialist in the truest sense, winning four of her nine races at Wexford, a win rate of 44% that towers above her overall record. Her most recent victory came there six weeks ago, on 28 August 2026, and her debut win also happened at the same course, back in July 2025. This is not a horse that travels well or adapts easily; this is a horse that knows one place and owns it.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Aengus King at Nemarket-On-Fergus in County Clare, Chosen Shant has been most successful with Phillip Enright in the saddle. The partnership has produced two wins from ten races together — a 20% win rate — which suggests a real understanding between horse and rider. The yard itself has sent out five winners this season, a solid return that places it among the working operations across the region.
Recent form tells a more modest story. Over her last six races, she has managed one win — that victory at Wexford — along with three minor placings. She is currently active, having raced just a day ago, which means she is still being campaigned despite her age. On normal ground conditions, she has won twice from eleven attempts, a win rate of 18%, but move her into top-level company and she struggles: she has failed to win any of her three races at Class 1 or 2 tracks. Chosen Shant is a horse with a ceiling, a ten-year-old plodder who will keep giving her people one or two days a year at Wexford and little else. For a small yard, that is often enough.
