Killeemore Lad
Killeemore Lad is an eight-year-old who has found his level as a solid, dependable horse in the middle ranks. With four wins from 24 races, he wins roughly one in every six attempts—not a spectacular win rate, but respectable enough for a horse of his age and class. What matters more is his consistency: he has picked up 11 places alongside those wins, meaning he finishes in the frame (first, second, or third) in nearly two-thirds of his races. That kind of reliability makes him the sort of horse that keeps his yard ticking over and his the yard hopeful.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Based at Thurles in County Tipperary under trainer A. Slattery, Killeemore Lad had his first breakthrough on 12 May 2023 at Kilbeggan, and he won most recently five weeks ago at Downpatrick on 31 August 2026. His form over the last six races tells a mixed but recent story: a win sandwiched between a couple of second-place finishes, a placed effort, and two non-finishes. He raced just a day ago, so he is active and in work, which suggests his trainer still sees potential in him. At eight years old, he is experienced enough to know the game but not yet at the age where fatigue has become a serious concern. If he stays sound and continues to race regularly, there is every reason to expect more winners before his career winds down.
