Storm Averted
Storm Averted is a 5-year-old that has been a hard horse to crack — in 17 career races, it has managed just one win, which came at Galway back in August 2025, now 14 months in the past. That single victory is a bright spot in an otherwise inconsistent record: four places alongside that solitary win suggests a horse that can run well on its day, but struggles to find the winning post regularly. Over its last six runs, results have been patchy (finishing ninth, ninth, thirteenth, ninth, fourth, and seventh most recently), and it has not tasted victory since that August afternoon.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The one genuine insight into where Storm Averted competes best is at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, where it holds a record of 1 win from 7 races — a 14% win rate, meaningfully better than its overall 6%. That range appears to suit its running style or physiology better than longer or shorter trips. Wesley Joyce is its regular pilot, having ridden it 11 times with just that single win to show, a 9% win rate that does not suggest a natural partnership, though the pairing remains consistent. Maurice Andrew Ahern's yard at Mallow, in Cork, has had a productive season with 5 winners so far, and Storm Averted remains part of the team despite its modest record. The horse was active as recently as yesterday, suggesting the the yard have not given up on it finding another winning opportunity, even if the months since August have tested their patience.
