Adaboy Mushy

The four-year-old opened its account at Leopardstown in March 2026, one of Ireland's most prestigious tracks, before following up with a win at Punchestown just this week — a course that hosts some of the biggest racing festivals in the calendar. Winning at both venues, rather than just one, suggests this is a horse that travels well and handles different challenges without missing a beat.

Behind the horse is trainer Declan Queally, based at Cappagh in County Waterford. It's not one of the enormous, headline-grabbing yards, but this season it has sent out 28 winners — a genuinely productive output that tells you Queally knows how to get horses ready to perform. Adaboy Mushy looks like one of the stable's sharper tools right now, and with the horse only racing for the first time two months ago, there is plenty of road ahead to find out just how good it might be.
