Court Compliance

There's a horse in William Durkan's Sandyford yard that has quietly been doing something quite difficult: finishing in the money almost every time it runs. Court Compliance has placed in 5 of its 5 races, winning 1 of them — a 20% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5 races turning into a victory, with the other four producing a place finish. For a six-year-old still finding its feet at this level, that kind of consistency is genuinely worth noting.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The one win came at Punchestown on 18 February 2026, and it was clearly no fluke — look at the recent form and you'll see a string of second-place finishes either side of it, suggesting this is a horse that belongs competitive wherever it's been sent. Punchestown is a proper track with a big reputation in Irish racing, so breaking through there carries a bit of weight.

Philip Byrnes has been in the saddle for all five of those races, and the two of them seem to suit each other well. That partnership has produced the win and contributed to a record that reads more like a horse being placed deliberately than one that's simply making up the numbers. Durkan's yard has hit 13 winners already this season, so there's clearly something working well on the training side too.

The most recent run was just a day ago, which means Court Compliance is very much in the thick of things right now. Whether another win is coming soon is anyone's guess, but a horse that finishes in the top three almost every time it races tends to find a way eventually. Keep an eye on it.
