Michael Mulvany's yard at Kells has had a productive season with 19 winners overall, and Genesis has become something of a course specialist at The Curragh. He has won twice there from 11 attempts, a respectable record that suggests he runs best on that track. His most recent victory came on 28 June, three months ago, so he has had a quiet summer and autumn since then. Over his last six races he has struggled to get going — his most recent outing, just a day ago, ended in 21st place, and before that he managed a third-place finish and a win back in June. The form tells you he is in a minor dip right now.
Rory Cleary has been his regular rider, though the numbers suggest they have not quite clicked as a partnership yet: one win from seven races together gives them a 14 per cent win rate, barely better than Genesis's overall win rate. It is possible a change of jockey might spark something, or simply that the pair need more time to settle. For now, Genesis remains an honest, ordinary racehorse — the kind that wins his fair share of small races and keeps his trainer's record ticking over, but never quite breaks into the upper echelon. He is still active and still racing, which is all that counts.
