Duke Of Burgundy
Duke Of Burgundy, a two-year-old trained by
Richard Hannon at his Herridge yard in Wiltshire, has shown enough promise in his early career to suggest there is more to come. The horse broke its duck at Kempton Park on 29 June, securing a win from just four races — a decent win rate at this stage of development. That victory came two months ago, and since then Duke Of Burgundy has been kept busy, running four times in quick succession with mixed results. Most recently, it finished third, fourth, and seventh in its last three races, bookending a fourth-place finish that suggests the yard may still be finding the right opportunities for this young runner.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
With one win and two placings from four starts, Duke Of Burgundy sits at a 25% win rate — winning roughly one race in every four attempts. That is respectable for a two-year-old still learning its trade, though the downward trend in recent form hints that the initial promise of that maiden breakthrough may need time to develop further. Hannon's yard has been prolific this season with 118 winners to their credit, so there is every reason to believe Duke Of Burgundy will get the patient handling and expert tuning it needs. The horse remains in active training, still racing regularly, and at this young age form can shift quickly. Whether that early win at Kempton proves the start of something meaningful or simply a flash in the pan may become clearer over the next few months.
