Satono Chevalier

Three wins from 19 races at a single track might not sound like much, but for Satono Chevalier, Dundalk is home. That kind of loyalty to one venue is rare, and it tells you something useful: this is a horse that has figured something out about that particular circuit and keeps coming back to prove it. The first win there came on 10 February 2023, and the track has remained a happy hunting ground ever since.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's Detailed Breakdown
Auto-Generated

Now eight years old, Satono Chevalier has built a career record of 5 wins and 14 places from 33 races — winning roughly 1 in every 6 or 7 outings overall. That is a solid, consistent profile for a horse at this level, and the placing record shows it rarely runs a truly bad race. More striking is the recent form: two wins from the last six races, including a victory at Ballinrobe just four weeks ago. For a horse of this age, that kind of late-career momentum is genuinely encouraging. A lot of eight-year-olds are winding down; this one is winning.

The distance range of a mile and six furlongs to two miles is where Satono Chevalier really hits its stride — four wins from 15 races at that trip, a win rate of 27%, or just over 1 in 4. Put simply, step it up in distance and the horse improves. Trainers and jockeys learn these things about a horse over time, and M K Flannery's yard in Askeaton, Co Limerick, has clearly identified the formula that works.

Regular jockey Jack Kearney has ridden the horse nine times and produced two wins — roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 rides together. That partnership has had its quiet spells, but the shared understanding built over those nine races clearly counts for something. Having raced just one day ago, Satono Chevalier is very much in active training, and with the Ballinrobe win still fresh and that strong recent run of form behind it, there is every reason to think the story is not done yet.
