Count Bezukhov
Count Bezukhov is a three-year-old that has hit the ground running in its racing career. With two wins from just four races, the horse is winning at a 50 per cent rate — roughly one victory in every two outings — which is the kind of win rate that separates genuinely talented animals from the ordinary. Better still, the horse has won two of its last four races, meaning it has found its stride recently and is clearly getting better with racing experience.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse's first win came at The Curragh on 23 May, but the really encouraging sign is how quickly it has won again. A victory at Listowel this week shows Count Bezukhov is on an upward curve. Recent form tells the story: a win, then a third-place finish, then another win, then another third. That pattern — mixed results but with two wins buried in there — suggests a horse that is competitive at its current level but perhaps not yet dominant. The third-place finishes matter as much as the wins; they show the horse is consistently quick enough to be in contention, not just fluke getting lucky twice.
Joseph Patrick O'Brien, training from Owning Hill in County Kilkenny, has sent out 160 winners this season, so Count Bezukhov is part of a yard in excellent form. With just four races under its belt and already a multiple winner still active on the track, this is a horse that has made a bright start to life as a racehorse.
