Tawaazon
Tawaazon is a horse that has found a home in the Irish racing scene, grinding away steadily for eight years without ever quite becoming a star. With 9 wins from 68 races across a career that has spanned the better part of a decade, this eight-year-old has won roughly 1 in every 7 races—solid enough to keep being trained by
John Andrew Kinsella at Rathdrum in Wicklow, but not the kind of record that gets people excited. The horse earned its first win at Dundalk back in September 2022 and has since accumulated modest prize money by finding its way into the frame regularly: 21 places alongside those 9 victories suggests a horse that is reliably competitive without quite crossing the finish line first.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Tawaazon interesting is how clear its preferences are. The horse absolutely loves wet or muddy ground, winning 2 of 6 races in those conditions—a 33% win rate that stands out sharply against its overall record. At Dundalk specifically, where the surface drains differently than most tracks, Tawaazon becomes almost a different proposition: 4 wins from 18 races there means it wins roughly 1 in 4.5 attempts, which is genuinely accomplished form for a horse of this level. These statistics are not random—they tell you exactly where to look for value if you ever saw this horse in the entries.
The problem now is that Tawaazon has not found the winner's circle for 17 months. Its last victory came at Naas on 10 May 2025, and in its last six races the best it has managed is a pair of fourth-place finishes. With Sean D Bowen in the saddle for 11 races, the partnership has produced 2 wins—an 18% win rate that outperforms the horse's general average—but even that jockey connection has dried up recently. Still, Tawaazon raced just yesterday and remains active on the Irish circuit. For a horse that has spent nearly a decade in racing without reaching the heights, persistence and the occasional preference for wet ground at Dundalk might be all that is left.
