The recent form tells a compelling story. Reading the last six runs from most recent backwards — a win, then two unplaced efforts, then a blank, then a win, then a second place — you can see a horse that goes through quiet patches but keeps finding its way back to the winner's enclosure. That most recent win came at Fairyhouse just this week, on 4 April 2026, which means Kalix Delabarriere is as live and in form as it gets. Its first career win arrived at Ballinrobe back in May 2024, so this is a horse that has been building its record over nearly two years of racing — not a flash in the pan.
The trainer behind all of this is Willie Mullins, the most dominant force in Irish jump racing by a distance. His yard at Muine Bheag in County Carlow has sent out 229 winners already this season alone. That is not a typo. When a horse sits in that string, it is surrounded by the best staff, the best facilities, and a trainer with an almost supernatural ability to place horses in races they can win. The fact that Mullins has kept Kalix Delabarriere active and winning says something — horses that can't cut it tend not to hang around in yards like his.
Two wins from the last six races, a win this week, and the full weight of the Mullins operation behind it. Kalix Delabarriere is a horse that is very much in the middle of its story right now, and the next chapter looks like it could be worth watching.
