Wing Back
Wing Back has been chasing a second win for over a year. The 6-year-old broke through at Downpatrick in August 2025, but that victory remains the lone highlight of a career that has produced just one win from 13 races—a modest 8% record. Three places alongside that single success tells you this is a horse that can run respectably on its day, yet consistency has been elusive. After finishing placed in three of its first six races, Wing Back has now gone without a win across its last six outings, most recently finishing seventh just yesterday, suggesting the form has dipped further.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Phillip Enright, the jockey who regularly rides for the yard, has partnered Wing Back seven times and won once together—a 14% win rate, slightly better than the horse's overall record but still showing how hard it has been to get this one back to the winner's enclosure. Trainer S Curling, based at Cashel in County Tipperary, has had a productive season with 14 winners from the yard, so the infrastructure is there, but Wing Back has not been the one delivering lately. For a 6-year-old horse that should be in its prime, thirteen months without a win is a long drought. At this point, the yard will be hoping for a change of luck, a drop in class, or the right race to spark a turnaround—because right now, Wing Back is looking for answers.
