Hinchinbrooke
Hinchinbrooke has been knocking on the door for months without managing to get back to the winner's circle. The 4-year-old broke through with a win at Chelmsford on 15 January, but that remains his only success from 14 races—he's won roughly 1 in every 14 starts, a lean win rate even at this level. Since that breakthrough seven months ago, he's picked up places regularly enough to suggest he belongs in races, yet the wins have dried up completely. His recent form tells the story: a sixth-place finish just yesterday followed by a run of results that shows effort without reward—an 18th, a fifth, a win, and then two seconds. That sole victory came at Chelmsford, a track where he seems to run his best, though even there he's only won 1 of his 8 races at distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The pattern suggests Hinchinbrooke is a horse who competes honestly but lacks that extra gear to win at this stage of his career. At Class 4 level—the mid-range of racing—he's won 1 of 7 races, a 14% win rate that hints he could be competitive, yet the results simply aren't coming. Trained by E McNamara at Rathkeale in County Limerick, a yard that has sent out 22 winners this season, Hinchinbrooke finds himself in capable hands. He's active and racing regularly, which suggests the team still believes there's more to come from him, but he'll need to rediscover the form that brought that January win if he's going to break through again anytime soon.
