Sir Allen
Sir Allen is a seven-year-old horse with the kind of record that suggests he remains a useful performer even if he's never quite set the racing world alight. With six wins from 32 races, he's winning roughly one in every five times out — a respectable return for a horse who has been around long enough to work out where he fits in the pecking order. His career began at The Curragh back in October 2021, and he has since picked up wins at various tracks, most recently at Gowran Park last week. That recent victory shows he still has something to offer, and his trainer A. Slattery, based in Thurles, keeps him racing for good reason.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What's most striking about Sir Allen is his consistency lately. In his last six races, he has finished in the top three on four occasions, including two wins. That kind of form — two victories from six runs over recent weeks — suggests he is ticking along nicely and remains competitive at his level. He performs best over middle distances of around a mile and a quarter, where he has recorded a win rate of one in three (1 win from 3 races), a genuine strong suit that the yard likely targets when planning his campaigns. Andrew Slattery, his most frequent rider, has partnered him 15 times and has steered him to two victories together, though the partnership has a win rate closer to one in eight overall. Still, at seven years old and still winning races, Sir Allen has proven himself reliable enough to keep turning out week after week at courses across Ireland.
