Tawaazon

There is something quietly impressive about a horse that has turned up 58 times and kept finding ways to be competitive. Tawaazon, an 8-year-old trained by John Andrew Kinsella at his yard in Rathdrum, Co Wicklow, has won 9 races and placed a further 19 times across a long career — meaning roughly 1 in every 3 outings has ended with some kind of reward. That level of consistency, spread across so many races, tells you this is a horse that tries every time.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most striking number in Tawaazon's record is what happens at Dundalk. Four wins from 18 races there — winning roughly 1 in every 4.5 visits — makes it by far the most productive track of his career. Dundalk is an all-weather circuit that races year-round, and some horses simply take to the synthetic surface in a way that suits their particular running style. Tawaazon is clearly one of them. He first announced himself there on 23 September 2022, which turned out to be his first career win, and the track has been good to him ever since.

He also has a clear preference for wet, muddy ground — 2 wins from just 4 races in those conditions, a 50% win rate that stands out sharply against his broader career average of 16%. For context, that's winning 1 in 2 on soft ground compared to roughly 1 in 6 across the board. When the rain comes down, Tawaazon becomes a different proposition.

Sean D Bowen is his most regular partner in the saddle, riding him 11 times and winning twice together — around 1 in 5.5 rides. That is a reasonable working relationship, though the statistics suggest neither jockey nor horse has yet found a truly unbeatable combination. Kinsella's yard has been in decent form this season with 5 winners sent out, and Tawaazon raced as recently as yesterday, which suggests the yard — sorry, the team — are keeping him busy and in good shape.

His last win came at Naas in May 2025, now 13 months ago, and recent form of 4-12-8-3-7-1 shows mixed results — a few disappointing efforts mixed with the occasional solid placing. He is not in the hottest spell of his career, but he has been a durable, winning racehorse over many years, and a return to Dundalk on a wet day might be exactly when you want him on your side.
