Khormor Syd
Khormor Syd is a five-year-old who has taken a long time to land a win, but when one finally came, it stuck. The horse raced 11 times without success before breaking through at Leopardstown on 11 June 2026 — and that remains the only victory in a 12-race career. Over those dozen outings, the horse has picked up three top-3 finishes alongside that single win, which gives a record of 1 win and 3 top-3 finishes. It is not the kind of profile that sets hearts racing, but there is something to work with: Khormor Syd performs noticeably better when stretched to distances between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs, winning 1 of 5 races (20%) at that trip, compared to just 1 win from 12 overall (8%).Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse's recent form shows some inconsistency. In the last six races — the most recent just a day ago — Khormor Syd has finished 7th, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 6th, and 9th. That solitary win came four months ago at Leopardstown, and since then there have been two top-3 finishes mixed in with some poor efforts. It is the sort of record that suggests a horse capable of running well on the day but without the consistency needed to be reliable. Darragh O'Sullivan, the jockey who has ridden Khormor Syd five times, has yet to land a winner aboard the horse, though he remains the regular partner. The trainer Gillian Scott, based at Ballingarry in Limerick, runs a modest operation that has sent out three winners this season — hardly a powerhouse yard, which is reflected in the modest calibre of races Khormor Syd contests. For a five-year-old still hunting for momentum, finding the right conditions at the right distance remains the key.
