Kilashee

Kilashee is an honest, durable horse who has hung around the racecourse for over a decade, picking up seven wins across 72 races for trainer John Patrick Ryan at Templemore. At 11 years old, this is a horse that has earned its keep through hard graft rather than brilliance — with a 10 per cent win rate, it wins roughly one race in every ten attempts. That kind of longevity tells you something: Kilashee is the sort of steady campaigner that keeps a small yard ticking over, rarely a dazzler but rarely a complete no-show either.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The horse clearly loves slightly soft, muddy ground, where it has won 3 of its 16 races, a 19 per cent win rate that stands out against its overall form. That is the sweet spot worth watching for — when rain is forecast and the going turns heavy, Kilashee becomes a different proposition. Its first win came at Listowel on 19 September 2021, and its most recent success arrived at Galway on 7 October 2025, which means it has gone a full year without another victory. Recent form has been patchy: it raced six times in its last batch of outings and failed to finish in the placings on four occasions, though it did pull in a couple of seventh-place finishes.

Despite a loose working partnership with regular rider Daniel King — just 1 win from 17 races together, a meagre 6 per cent win rate — Kilashee was still out on the track just a day ago, suggesting the yard believes there is more mileage left in it. At this age and with this record, you are looking at a horse that thrives on consistency and a forgiving nature of the ground. For racing enthusiasts who like a long-term project, Kilashee is the type to follow on wet days at Irish courses where its record improves markedly.
