Sky Captain

What stands out is his recent consistency. In his last six runs, Sky Captain has finished outside the top three only once—most recently a sixth-place finish—but the run before that, just a day ago, he was back in second. This is a horse that shows up and runs to form almost every time he races. His breakthrough win came at Roscommon back in July 2025, but it took him 15 months to get back to the winner's enclosure, which suggests competition has been tough. Still, the fact that he keeps placing tells you the yard knows how to keep him competitive. Joseph Patrick O'Brien's outfit at Owning Hill has sent out 160 winners this season, so Sky Captain is part of a training operation that knows its business. At five years old and still active, there is every chance his next win is closer than his last one.
