Costacurta
Costacurta is a 6-year-old who has tasted victory exactly once in nine career races, back in May 2025 at Kilbeggan — and has not won since. That single success came with jockey
Darragh O'Keeffe, who has ridden the horse five times and won once, giving him a respectable 20% win rate when partnered with this particular animal. The horse finished second and third twice in its last six outings, which suggests it remains competitive enough to trouble the judges regularly, but converting those near-misses into wins has become a persistent problem.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Henry de Bromhead at Knockeen in County Waterford, Costacurta is part of a yard sending out consistent winners — 110 so far this season — so the infrastructure for success is clearly in place. Yet this horse has managed only 1 win and 6 places from 9 races overall, a record that feels frustratingly narrow. Raced actively as recently as yesterday, Costacurta remains in work, still hunting for that elusive second victory. With 16 months having passed since its last win, the clock is ticking to prove it can do better than once in every nine attempts.
