Hees Dynamite
Hees Dynamite is a horse that thrives on familiar ground—quite literally. The eight-year-old has found a home at Limerick, where it has won three of its five career races, including its most recent victory on 18 November 2025. Over five runs at that track, Hees Dynamite wins roughly once every two races, a win rate that towers above its overall record of 5 wins from 29 races, or about 1 win in every 6 outings. The gap between its 60% win rate at Limerick and its 17% win rate everywhere else tells you everything: this is a horse that runs best when it knows where it is going.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Conditions matter just as much as location. Hees Dynamite is a wet-ground specialist, winning 2 of its 4 races on soft, muddy ground—a 50% success rate that suggests it really comes alive when the track cuts up. That combination of Limerick and soft conditions is where this horse finds its sweet spot.
The recent form is mixed. After winning at Limerick in mid-November 2024, Hees Dynamite has managed only one second place finish in its last six races, suggesting a recent dip in form. Trained by E McNamara at Rathkeale and most often ridden by Conor McNamara—though the partnership has not produced a win yet in nine races together—the horse remains active and has the quality to find the frame. With a yard sending out 22 winners this season, there is racing pedigree in the team. The question now is whether Hees Dynamite can rediscover the form that made it so formidable at Limerick when conditions are right.
