Usuario Amigo

His recent form tells the story of a horse who is genuinely competitive right now. Over his last six races he has finished first, third, tenth, seventh and ninth, plus that fresh victory. That first place came hot on the heels of being placed third just days earlier, suggesting real sharpness. His first win came at Brighton on 17 September 2024, and for a horse to bag two victories within two years on the track is the kind of thing that keeps an owner interested and a trainer hopeful.

Richard John O'Brien's yard at Ballingarry in County Limerick has had a productive season with five winners sent out, and Usuario Amigo represents the kind of steady, consistent performer that makes up the backbone of small training operations. He typically races in Class 4 company and has yet to win at that level, but his recent victory at Dundalk shows he can still find the line when it matters. He raced just yesterday, which means he is actively campaigned and still very much in work. For a five-year-old without a huge win record, Usuario Amigo is exactly the sort of horse who might surprise you at decent odds, particularly at tracks where he has already shown he can finish in front.
