Mistyburn
Mistyburn is a 6-year-old who has taken a long time to find the winning post, but when he finally did, it was worth the wait. His career record of one win from 14 races tells the story of a horse who has been honest without being brilliant — the kind that turns up, tries hard, and most days comes home without making the headlines. His most recent run came just yesterday, so he is still being campaigned actively by trainer
P J Rothwell at Tinahely in County Wicklow.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That solitary win came at Kilbeggan on 24 April, more than three months ago, and it remains the highlight of his record. Since then, his form has been mixed. Looking at his last six races, he has picked up a couple of places — third and third again — but mostly he has been finishing out of the money, including a sixth last time. When a horse this age and experience finally breaks through, there is often hope it will signal the start of better things. So far, Mistyburn has not quite managed that, but the fact that he keeps racing suggests his yard still sees something to work with. Rothwell's operation has been successful this season with 35 winners to his name, so there is competent horsemanship behind the horse. For Mistyburn, the hunt for a second career win goes on.
