Our Zebo
Our Zebo is a seven-year-old who has won three times from 21 races — a solid but modest return that puts him at the lower end of competitive racing. What makes him interesting is not his overall record but where and with whom he races best. He is a course specialist at Downpatrick, where he has won 2 of his 6 races, a win rate that suggests he genuinely suits the track. His last win came there on 25 August 2025, though it has been a full year since he last visited the winner's enclosure.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The jockey-horse pairing with Alex Harvey tells a more hopeful story. Together they have won three times from seven races — a 43 per cent win rate that is far above Our Zebo's overall average of one win every seven races. This suggests the horse runs well for Harvey and that the yard know to call on him when they have genuine ambitions. Trained by Noel C Kelly at Draperstown in County Derry, Our Zebo is part of a yard that has been in good form this season, sending out 14 winners. The trainer clearly knows how to get the best from his horses in the right spots.
Recent form shows a horse treading water. In his last six races, he has not won — his best effort a second-place finish — and he returned to the track just yesterday. He tends to race at Class 5 level, where he has yet to win from five attempts, suggesting that even in modest company he can find the grade tough. At seven, Our Zebo is entering his veteran years, but Downpatrick remains his happy hunting ground and the Harvey pairing remains his best chance. He is the kind of horse to follow with interest when he is entered back at his favourite track with his preferred jockey.
