Mistyburn
There is a horse that has made its supporters wait, but when the moment finally came, Mistyburn delivered. After 12 races without a win, this 6-year-old broke through at Kilbeggan on 24 April 2026, and that victory remains the standout moment of a career that reads 1 win and 3 places from 13 races — a win rate of around 1 in every 13 outings, or roughly 8%. That kind of patience is not unusual in racing, but it does make the breakthrough feel all the sweeter when it arrives.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Mistyburn is trained by P J Rothwell, whose yard is tucked away in Tinahely, County Wicklow. Rothwell is having a productive season, sending out 35 winners, which tells you this is a trainer who knows how to get a horse ready to win. The fact that Mistyburn is the one who finally got the job done at Kilbeggan suggests the team found the right race at the right time — something that can take months of careful placing to achieve.
The recent form — a win, a third, and a couple of unplaced efforts in the last six races — paints a picture of a horse that is competitive without being consistently brilliant. That win two months ago shows the ability is there. Whether Mistyburn can build on it and find another winning opportunity is the question worth watching, particularly given the horse raced just one day ago and is very much in active campaign. The next few weeks will tell us a lot.
