Shaboozee
Shaboozee is a five-year-old who has found his groove on normal ground, winning 2 of his 7 races on that surface — a 29% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record of 2 wins from 11 races. His most recent victory came at Ballinrobe on 25 August last year, and he's returned to form quickly in the past week, placing in his last three outings before a ninth-place finish just a day ago. He's been in and out of the winner's enclosure lately — 2 wins from his last 6 races shows he remains competitive and capable of striking without warning.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Joseph Patrick O'Brien's Owning Hill yard has been firing on all cylinders this season with 160 winners to their name, and Shaboozee slots in as a reliable if unspectacular member of the squad. He's usually ridden by J J Slevin, who has partnered him to 1 win from 5 races together — a solid 20% win rate that's marginally better than Shaboozee's career average. The horse has placed in 3 races alongside his 2 victories, meaning he regularly gets into the money without always finding his way into the winner's circle. At five, he's in the prime years of his racing life, and with his clear preference for normal ground and his recent return to placing regularly, there's reason to think he could add to his tally if the conditions suit and Slevin is in the saddle.
