Low Style
At nine years old, Low Style is a horse with plenty of experience but precious little to show for it in the winner's enclosure. Across 17 races, there has been just one win — a strike at Roscommon back in September 2022 — which works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in every 17 races. That single victory now sits 45 months in the past, and the last six runs have produced nothing better than a third place, with a seventh and a fifteenth also in the mix. Consistent it is not.Based on TrackLab's analysis

What keeps Low Style interesting, despite the modest record, is the sheer persistence of everyone involved. Barry Connell's yard in Nurney, Co. Kildare has sent out seven winners this season, so the operation clearly knows how to win races — Low Style just hasn't been the one delivering them. Sean Flanagan, who has ridden the horse in seven of its races, is still waiting for that breakthrough, yet he keeps getting the leg up. That kind of loyalty suggests the team sees something worth persisting with, even if the results haven't come.
Racing just one day ago, Low Style is clearly still very much in training and in the mix. For a nine-year-old with one career win, the question isn't really whether a big day is coming — it probably isn't — but whether the horse can rediscover the form that produced that Roscommon win and give the yard another reason to celebrate. Seven places from 17 races tells you this horse does try. It just hasn't found the winner's circle since.
