Lermoos Legend

The partnership between Lermoos Legend and Sean Bowen tells a more interesting story. Bowen has ridden the horse 29 times and won on him 5 times, a 17% win rate that is notably sharper than his overall record. There is clearly an understanding there. Bowen seems to get the best out of him, suggesting the horse may need a sensitive hand or a rider who reads his mood well.

His strongest card is slightly soft ground. On races run in damp or muddy conditions, he has won 2 of his 8 attempts — a 25% win rate that stands out against his blunt overall figures. This is the sort of detail that matters to his yard: on a day when the turf is heavy, Lermoos Legend becomes a different proposition. He also wins at Class 4 level at a respectable clip, with 3 wins from 19 starts (16%), suggesting he competes best against horses of a similar modest standard.

The current form is frustrating. His last six races have yielded three top-3 finishes but no wins, with his most recent outing just a day ago. His last victory came at Fontwell Park on 7 September 2025 — now 13 months in the past. At 11 years old, he is an old hand in racing terms, and the gap since his last win is long enough to raise questions about whether he still has it. Yet he is still racing, still finishing in the money regularly, and still partnered with a jockey who has shown he can win on him. For a horse at this stage of life and career, that is not nothing.
