Kendall Roy
Kendall Roy is a five-year-old with genuine substance. The horse has won 6 of its 24 races — roughly one win every four outings — and places in nearly half its starts, which speaks to consistent ability at a solid level. What makes this more impressive is the win rate on normal ground: 4 wins from 9 races on standard conditions is a striking 44%, nearly double the career average. It suggests the horse performs best when the track is neither heavy nor rock hard, a useful fact for anyone watching its future races.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form is mixed but not discouraging. A win three races ago, a third place two starts back, and a ninth most recently shows the horse remains competitive but is going through one of those periods where results have tightened. Still, winning at Cork four months ago — on 14 June — proves it knows how to find the line when it counts, and it has now claimed two victories at that track from eight attempts, making it something of a course specialist there.
Jockey Chris Hayes has the best record aboard, winning 2 of their 5 races together, a 40% win rate that stands out sharply against the career average. Miss Kate McGivern's yard is relatively modest — it sent out only one winner this season — but that doesn't diminish what she has achieved with this horse. Kendall Roy was a debut winner at Naas back in September 2023 and has steadily earned its place in competitive company since then. After racing just yesterday, it is clearly an active, healthy horse with more races ahead.
