Kelly Burn
Kelly Burn is a three-year-old on the rise, with a knack for picking up wins just when it matters. Over the last six races the horse has found the front three times, including a victory at Goodwood four weeks ago that showed real promise. That recent form — wins in three of the last six outings — suggests something has clicked, even if the results have been mixed enough to keep things interesting.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse performs noticeably better over longer distances. At races between one mile six furlongs and two miles, Kelly Burn has won 2 of its 3 attempts, a win rate of around two-thirds. That's the sweet spot: give the horse time to settle and build through a race, and it delivers. Shorter distances seem to dull that edge. Trained by James Fanshawe at Newmarket, Kelly Burn benefits from a yard that has already sent out 44 winners this season, suggesting a trainer in form and on the right track with his horses.
The career record reads three wins and five places from ten races — a thirty percent win rate that sits right in the middle of consistent and promising. The first win came at Wolverhampton in May 2026, and from there Kelly Burn has shown enough to suggest it could pick up a few more. Still active and racing regularly, the horse remains a work in progress rather than a finished article, but the signs are encouraging enough to warrant watching.
