Space Warrior
Space Warrior broke its duck at Fairyhouse in early November 2024, but has not found the winner's circle since. The five-year-old has raced 26 times for a solitary win and a couple of top-3 finishes—a return of roughly 4 per cent wins—and recent form shows nothing but sixth, sixth, ninth, ninth, third and ninth place finishes over its last half-dozen outings. That sole victory came nearly two years ago, which tells you this is a horse that has struggled to recapture whatever worked that day.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The gelding is trained by Thomas Mullins at Goresbridge in Co Kilkenny and most often ridden by Danny Mullins, though their partnership has yielded just one win from ten races together. Space Warrior shows its best form at longer distances—two miles and beyond—where it has won once from 15 attempts, a 7 per cent win rate at that trip. That slight preference for stamina suggests the horse has some engine, but the overall numbers make clear this is a campaigner treading water. With the yard having sent out only two winners all season, Space Warrior remains plugging away without much luck or change of fortune.
