Individualism

Both of those wins came in the summer months, first at Carlisle in July 2024 and then at Hamilton Park in July 2025, which gives the yard at Rathkeale, Co. Limerick something to work with as the warmer months return. Trainer E McNamara has had a productive season, sending out 22 winners, so Individualism is just one piece of a busy and successful operation. Joe Fanning, who has been the regular rider, has been aboard for 16 of the horse's 21 races and was in the saddle for both victories — that kind of partnership matters, and the numbers back it up: together they win roughly 1 in every 8 races, which sits slightly above the horse's overall average.

On normal ground over a mile and three to a mile and four, Individualism looks at its most dangerous — winning 1 from 4 at that trip is a 25% win rate, which is genuinely strong for a horse at this level. The recent form makes for tougher reading: the last six runs show a 2nd as the only bright spot among a run of mid-field and back-of-the-field finishes. It raced just yesterday, so it is clearly being kept busy. Whether another win is coming soon is hard to say, but the ingredients that have worked before — summer, good ground, Fanning up, the right distance — are not far away.
