Kevin's Pride

He first broke through at Kilbeggan back in August 2024, then found the winner's circle again at Cork in October 2025, a win that now sits more than a year in the past. That gap is telling: Kevin's Pride has run six times since, with a 12th-place finish his most recent result. He has managed two more top-3 finishes in that stretch, so he is still capable of competitive form, but the winning touch has deserted him. His last six races tell the story of a horse treading water—nothing disastrous, but nothing to suggest an imminent return to the winner's enclosure either.

Where Kevin's Pride stands out is on normal ground. On fast, dry conditions, he wins roughly three times in every ten races, a respectable win rate that suggests he has a genuine preference for firm footing. That is the kind of small edge worth remembering: a horse that knows his best conditions and performs measurably better when they arrive. For a seven-year-old veteran, that is not a bad calling card. He may not be headed for the big races, but Kevin's Pride appears to be the sort of reliable campaigner who will pick up the odd race when the ground suits and the level is right.
