Driveonwill
Driveonwill is a 6-year-old who spent a long time knocking on the door before finally breaking through, and that moment arrived at Downpatrick on 22 May 2026. Across 14 races, that single win tells the honest story — a 7% win rate, or roughly 1 win from every 14 races — but the recent form suggests things are clicking into place. Four finishes of fourth or better across the last six runs show a horse that is consistently competitive, even if the winner's enclosure has been rare territory.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What gives the story some real shape is the partnership with jockey Donagh Meyler. In seven races together, they have won once — that 14% win rate, or 1 in every 7 rides, is notably better than Driveonwill's overall record suggests. Finding the right jockey can unlock a horse, and Meyler clearly gets something out of this one that others have struggled to. The Downpatrick win, coming just three weeks ago and the only victory in 14 career races, feels less like a fluke and more like a long-overdue reward.
Behind the horse is Ross O'Sullivan's yard in Kilcullen, Co Kildare — a team that has sent out 40 winners this season, which speaks to a well-run operation in good form. A trainer hitting those numbers knows which horses are ready and when to run them. The fact that Driveonwill raced just yesterday confirms this is a yard that keeps its horses active and working. For a horse whose career has been built on patience, the signs right now are probably the most encouraging they have ever been.
