Make Good
There is something quietly compelling about a horse that finds its best form at 11 years old, but that is exactly what Make Good has done in 2025. After years of knocking around without much to show for it — just 2 wins from 18 career races, or roughly 1 in every 9 starts — this veteran suddenly looks like a different animal over a proper distance. Across races of two miles or more, Make Good wins 2 from 8, a rate of 25%, or 1 in every 4. That is a remarkable turnaround from its overall record, and it tells you something important: give this horse a genuine test of stamina and it becomes genuinely competitive.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Both of those wins came in the summer and autumn of 2025 — first at Tramore in July, then at Clonmel in September — and the recent form bears that out. Of the last six races, Make Good has won two of them, which for a horse of this profile is a real purple patch. It raced just yesterday, so Cian Collins and the team at Navan are clearly keeping it busy and in good shape.
Collins himself has had a productive season, sending out 20 winners from his Co Meath yard, and Make Good looks like one of the horses helping to build that tally. At 11, most racehorses are winding down or already retired. The fact that this one is still racing, still winning, and still improving over longer trips is the kind of story that makes it worth following.
