Perry Mason

Three wins from five races at The Curragh is a remarkable record for any horse, let alone one trained at a small yard that has sent out just two winners this entire season. To put it in perspective, most horses at this level are doing well to win 1 in every 5 or 6 races at any given track. Perry Mason is winning 3 in every 5 at this one. That is not a coincidence — that is a horse who genuinely thrives on that course, whether it is the shape of the track, the ground, or some combination nobody can fully explain. Some horses just have a home, and The Curragh appears to be his.

The wet weather helps too. On very wet, muddy ground, Perry Mason has won 2 from 4 races — a 50% win rate that would be the envy of horses running at a far higher level. When the rain comes and the ground gets heavy, this horse moves up a gear. His most recent win came just this week, at The Curragh on 23 May 2026 — his second win at the track in the last seven months, having also won there on his debut back in October 2025.

His recent form reads 1-3-1-9-2-1, which is the shape of a horse who is inconsistent in the middle but electric at his best. Three wins from his last six races is genuinely strong form, and the fact that he is racing fit — having run just yesterday — means the yard clearly has him in a good rhythm right now. There is one honest caveat: Perry Mason has not yet managed a win at the higher class levels, going 0 from 4 in those contests. Step him up in class and the questions remain open. Keep him at The Curragh in the wet, though, and the answers have been pretty consistent.
