The most striking thing about this horse is what it does at Tramore. Three wins from 9 races there works out at 33%, meaning Prince Of Air wins 1 in every 3 races at that particular track. To put that in context, it wins just 1 in every 9 races everywhere else. Something about Tramore suits this horse in a way that nothing else in its career quite replicates — and it is no coincidence that its very first win came there, back in August 2023, or that its most recent win came there too, in April 2025. Tramore is where Prince Of Air turns up and means business.
Distance matters as well. At 1 mile 6 furlongs to 2 miles, the horse has won 2 from 7 races — a win rate of 29%, or roughly 1 in every 3 and a half races. That is a notably better return than its overall record, and it suggests Prince Of Air is a stayer that wants a genuine test of stamina rather than a sprint. Drop it short and you are probably wasting its best quality.
The current run of six races without a win will catch the eye, and the recent form — a couple of second-place finishes sandwiched around some mid-field efforts — suggests a horse that is competitive without quite finding that finishing burst. Regular partner P J O'Hanlon has yet to get Prince Of Air to the winner's enclosure across 11 races together, which is a notable blank, though it is worth noting the horse's best days have tended to come on the right track rather than with any particular rider.
Having raced just yesterday, Prince Of Air is clearly still a functioning, active competitor at nine. The formula for catching it right looks straightforward enough: Tramore, a distance of at least a mile and six, and a spot of patience.
