This horse was not on the card we last read. The figures above are carried forward from the day it was, and nothing about it has changed since.
collected through 2026-10-24 15:00:04 UTCderived 2026-10-24 16:00:40 UTC
Finished first, second or third, whatever the number of runners. Not the each-way place terms of the race, which depend on the field and the bookmaker.
Every figure below uses only races run before the date above. Nothing here is a prediction, and nothing here is a price.
The record we hold
| Record | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All runs we hold | 2 | 1 | 1 | 50.0% | 50.0% |
Our archive runs to 23 October 2026. A run after that date is missing from these figures, so read them as what we hold, not as a complete record.
By going, course and distance
The portals show a rolling recent window because that is what their feed delivers. These are every run we hold, split by the conditions of the day and cut at the archive date — with the sample beside each rate, because a rate without one is a guess with a decimal point.
| Going | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| goodgood or good to firm; standard or standard to fast on all-weather | 2 | 1 | 1 | 50.0% | 50.0% |
A going, course or distance band appears only where we hold at least two runs of it. A single run is not a strike rate, and rounding one run to “100%” would be noise wearing the clothes of a finding. Going and distance are grouped into bands by us, and each band carries the range it covers, because a rate over “staying” is unreadable without it; the course is as the record names it, with all-weather and turf at the same course kept apart.
Recent activity
It had not run for 3 months.
Counts, not rates — one win from two runs is not a fifty per cent strike rate, it is two runs. Everything here is cut at 17 October 2026.
Jockey and trainer
| Connection | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JockeyDylan Browne McMonagle | 2359 | 306 | 821 | 13.0% | 34.8% |
| TrainerJoseph Patrick O'Brien | 6327 | 918 | 2501 | 14.5% | 39.5% |
The table above is the whole-archive record, not this pairing. Those figures are the rider’s across every ride we hold and the yard’s across every runner we hold, to 23 October 2026. What follows is narrower.
Joseph Patrick O'Brien has saddled it 2 times, for 1 win.
The pairing itself — Dylan Browne McMonagle riding for Joseph Patrick O'Brien — is 185 from 969 in our archive, a 19.1% strike rate.
Under today’s conditions, at Ascot, Dylan Browne McMonagle is 2 from 74 — a 2.7%, and over 1m5f and beyond, 28 from 154 — an 18.2%; at Ascot, Joseph Patrick O'Brien is 10 from 133 — a 7.5%, and over 1m5f and beyond, 330 from 2,156 — a 15.3%. Course and distance are taken one at a time, not together.
Sire
| Sire | Runs | Wins | Placed | Win rate | Placed rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Persian Kingprogeny we hold — see the note below | 304 | 37 | 120 | 12.2% | 39.5% |
The sire’s progeny across every run we hold to 23 October 2026. It is a statement about the stallion’s stock in general, not about this horse, and not conditioned on the going, the course or the distance above.
Breeding is complete for races up to 22 July 2026. For races since, we hold the sire for 96.9% of runners (32,943 of 34,011), so progeny totals under-count recent runs.
Figures are our own count over an archive of published race results, computed using only races run before 17 October 2026. A rate is shown only where we hold at least two runs of that kind. Race times are BST. mazetick publishes measurements, not tips: nothing here is advice to bet, and no price appears on this page. All horses in the archive.
