Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The standout feature of Quatre Bras is its mastery of Dundalk, where it has won three of ten races (30%). That kind of win rate at a single course suggests real comfort with the place, whether the track itself or the specific way the horse runs there. Most recently, Quatre Bras won at Dundalk just three weeks ago on 25 September, which confirms the horse remains sharp and competitive. The horse also performs noticeably better over a distance of one mile three furlongs to one mile four furlongs, where it has won three of ten races (30%)—again, a figure that stands out compared to its overall record. On normal ground conditions, Quatre Bras has won three of ten races (25%), making firm or wet surfaces less reliable.

Recent form has been patchy. In the last six races, Quatre Bras has finished 6th, 5th, 7th, 1st, 2nd, and 6th—so one win and one runner-up finish among inconsistent results. Trained by Richard John O'Brien at Ballingarry in County Limerick, the horse races mainly at Class 4 level, where it has won once from four attempts. With a race just yesterday, Quatre Bras is an active proposition, though the mixed results over the past month suggest it is not in the best form right now.
