Clever Court
Clever Court is a 5-year-old with a modest record that tells the story of a horse still searching for form. The gelding has won just once in twelve races — his breakthrough coming at Bellewstown on 4 July 2026 — and has picked up three places to show he belongs in a race, even if victory eludes him more often than not. That single win represents only an 8 percent win rate, or roughly 1 victory every 12 attempts, the kind of record typical of a horse operating at a lower level where consistency matters more than brilliance.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His recent form hints at improvement. In his last six races, he has finished 14th, then 9th, then 7th, then 1st — that sole win — before a pair of unnamed runs that left no placing. The 1st place result eight weeks ago at Bellewstown, the same track where he broke his duck, suggests the course suits him and that he may be capable of returning to the winner's circle if conditions align. What's encouraging is that the runs immediately before his win showed him narrowing the gap: a 7th place followed by 9th, showing he was working his way into contention. Still active and racing only a day ago, Clever Court remains in work and in the calculation.
He runs for trainer P J Rothwell's yard at Tinahely in County Wicklow, which has sent out 35 winners already this season — a solid operation with a track record of getting horses across the line. For a five-year-old with a single win and limited success rate, Clever Court is a horse for patient the yard who understand that not every runner in a yard becomes a star. He may well deliver another winning day, but he will need the right race at the right moment.
