Neddies Boy
Neddies Boy has been a horse in search of a winning formula for a very long time now. The eight-year-old earned his only career victory back in February 2024 at Dundalk, and nothing has come close since. In 19 races across his life, he has managed just that single win and two places — a win rate of 1 in every 20 races. Thirty-two months without another win is a tough run for any horse, and his recent form does little to suggest a breakthrough is imminent. His last six races have yielded a second-place finish and five mid-field efforts, most recently finishing second just a day ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The numbers tell a discouraging story. When stepped up to Class 6 company — the highest level he regularly contests — Neddies Boy has drawn a blank across four attempts. He performs slightly better at distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, winning 1 of 9 races over that range, but it has not been enough to build any real winning habit. Daragh Bourke's Waterbeck yard in Dumfries has saddled him through most of this lean spell, and while the trainer has sent out 10 winners this season, this particular horse has not been among them. At this stage of his career, Neddies Boy looks like a horse treading water — still active, still trying, but doing so more out of habit than genuine prospect.
