Square Necker

The career started at Dundalk in December 2025, and since then the horse has barely looked back. Recent form reads 1-1-2-1-3, which in plain terms means two wins, a runner-up, another win, and a third — all across the last five races. That sequence tells you this is not a horse that flukes the occasional result; it shows up competitive every time. The most recent win came at Ayr just this week, on 20 June 2026, confirming that Square Necker is very much in form right now and racing with real momentum.

Behind the horse is Kevin Philippart De Foy, a trainer based in Newmarket who has sent out 40 winners already this season. That is a yard operating with serious confidence at the moment, and a horse like Square Necker — unbeaten in its last two races and placed in all five career starts — is exactly the kind of consistent performer that reflects well on how a stable is managed. When a trainer is in that kind of form and a horse is racing this reliably, the two tend to bring out the best in each other.

With just five races on the clock, there is still plenty of the story left to tell. Square Necker has won 60% of its races — three from five — which by any measure is a remarkable ratio for a horse still finding its feet at four years old. The question now is where the team aims next, and whether this level of dominance can hold as the competition inevitably steps up.
