Chutzpal

Chutzpal has been a solid, if unspectacular, member of Henry de Bromhead's powerful Waterford yard for nearly three years now. The seven-year-old has picked up five wins from 36 races—roughly one victory in every seven outings—and a respectable haul of 14 places besides, the kind of record that keeps a horse employed and valued but not one that sets pulses racing. The partnership with de Bromhead's team has clearly suited Chutzpal well enough: the trainer's Knockeen operation has been in tremendous form this season, sending out 110 winners already.Based on TrackLab's analysis

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

What does stand out is Chutzpal's affinity for Killarney. On that course, the horse has won 2 of its 6 races—a far better win rate than its overall record suggests—and clearly enjoys the place. The last of those victories came on 22 August 2025, which now sits more than a year in the past, a telling gap that speaks to a lean spell. In fact, Chutzpal has not found the winner's enclosure in its last six races, a stretch that includes a recent second-place finish just a day ago. The pattern shows a horse that can still run into places—it was second most recently—but one whose winning days may be ebbing. Mark Enright, the horse's most frequent partner, has managed just one win from seven rides together, matching Chutzpal's modest overall win rate and offering little evidence of a click between horse and rider that might break the losing run. At seven, Chutzpal is not old, but the gap since that August triumph at Killarney suggests it may be chasing form rather than making it.
