Lil Brother

With 2 wins from 13 races overall, he wins roughly 1 in every 7 attempts — a modest record, but not unusual for a horse at his level. What stands out is how his form has splintered recently. He hasn't tasted victory in 14 months, not since Windsor in August 2025, and his last six races tell a story of a horse searching for rhythm: a sixth place, then fourth, fourth again, seventh, fifth, and most recently a ninth. That's five months of racing without a win to show for the effort.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

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

At Class 4 level — the mid-tier races where most horses compete — he has recorded 1 win from 4 attempts, which is a far stronger 25 per cent win rate than his overall figures suggest. This hints that when he steps down in class, he has the ability to compete and win. Michael Keady's Newmarket yard, which has sent out 16 winners this season, will be hoping to engineer that drop in class and resurrect a winning formula. Lil Brother is very much a work in progress, but with a win just over a year behind him and recent racing suggesting he remains active and engaged, there is still time for him to string together another victory.
