I'm Flattered

I'm Flattered is a six-year-old who finally broke through for a win on 9 August 2025 at Kilbeggan after sixteen previous races without a victory. It was a breakthrough moment for a horse that has struggled to find the winner's enclosure — across seventeen races, the horse has managed just one win and one placed finish, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 17 races. That long wait between debut and first success speaks to the difficulty of the task even for horses that eventually do win.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The good news for the yard is that the win came in the last twelve months; the less encouraging news is that it remains the only victory on the record. In the six races since that August success, I'm Flattered has finished outside the frame four times, with placings of eighth and seventh in two of them. The recent form reads 8-14-7-8-6-6, a sequence that suggests the horse is running consistently but rarely threatening to win. Aidan Kelly, the rider most familiar with this horse, has partnered it nine times and won once — an 11% win rate that is better than the overall record but still modest. Trainer Padraig Roche, based at Coolaghknock Glebe in Co Kildare, has sent out eight winners this season, though I'm Flattered has not contributed to that tally in recent months.

At six years old, this is an experienced horse, but the record suggests it operates in lower-grade company where wins do not come easily. The single victory at Kilbeggan may yet prove significant — a career marker that separates a horse with a win from one without — but the twelve-month gap since that moment, combined with recent form showing no wins in six starts, indicates that I'm Flattered remains in familiar territory: honest, game, and still searching for a second success.
