Party President
Party President is a six-year-old who has shown flashes of real ability without quite becoming the consistent winner his the yard might have hoped for. With 2 wins and 4 places from 17 races, he wins roughly 1 in every 8 or 9 races — respectable enough at a modest level, but nothing to set pulses racing. The frustration for his yard is that his form has flatlined recently; he has not won since April 2025, a gap of 16 months, and his last six runs read like a long sequence of near misses: a third, two sixths, another third, a second, and a blank. That second-place finish shows he can still run well, but he keeps coming up just short.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The real story with Party President emerges when you look at his conditions. When the ground is slightly soft — the kind of damp, yielding surface that suits many horses but not all — he transforms. He has won 2 of his 3 races on such going, a 67% win rate that stands out like a spotlight against his overall 12%. On his debut win at Naas in April 2025 and his last victory at Clonmel just 14 days later, Party President got exactly what he needed underfoot. The lesson is clear: this horse wants that specific ground and probably needs it to win again.
There is also a jockey angle worth noting. Mr A Leahy, who rides Party President regularly, has a win rate of 2 wins from 7 races together — roughly 29% — which is considerably better than the horse's general record. That suggests chemistry between rider and horse, or simply that Leahy understands how to get the best out of him. With Party President still racing and still capable of placing, a return to soft ground with Leahy in the saddle might be exactly what is needed to snap his long winning drought.
