Renesmee
Renesmee is a hard-knocking six-year-old who knows how to find the winner's circle but does it sparingly. With six wins from 52 races overall, this horse wins roughly once every nine attempts — a modest win rate that speaks to a journeyman competing at a consistent, honest level. What makes Renesmee interesting is not consistency across all tracks and distances, but a clear pattern of preference: at Chelmsford, this horse is genuinely dangerous. Two wins from four races there gives a 50% success rate, which is exceptional. More tellingly, Renesmee knows its way around the middle distances between 1 mile 1 furlong and 1 mile 2 furlongs, winning five of 27 races at those trips — nearly one in five.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The partnership with jockey Kyle McHugh has been the horse's most productive: McHugh has ridden Renesmee to three wins from eight races together, a 38% win rate that dwarfs the horse's overall record. That kind of win rate with a particular rider is rare and suggests real understanding between horse and pilot. Renesmee's most recent success came at Chelmsford on 7 March 2026 — now seven months in the past. The horse has been racing since August 2023, when it won on debut at Great Yarmouth, and remains active: it was out just a day ago, finishing 12th. The last six races tell a story of struggle, with no wins and modest placings (2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th, and a 24th-place finish). For a horse that prefers Chelmsford and works best with McHugh aboard, those recent runs suggest either a change in variables or simply the brutal mathematics of aging and racing wear. At six years old, Renesmee is entering the back half of a typical racing life, and this dry spell may be the beginning of a fade, or it may be an opportunity for Keady to engineer a return to Chelmsford or reunite horse and jockey.
