Barrogstown Girl

Across 19 races, she has won 3 times and finished in the places a further 7 times, which works out at roughly 1 win in every 6 races (16%). That's a modest headline figure, but the detail underneath it is more interesting. At a mile and three to a mile and four furlongs — that middle-distance sweet spot where stamina starts to matter — she has won 2 from 7 races, a win rate of 29%, or roughly 1 in every 3 outings. That's a meaningful jump. It suggests a horse that needs the race to be run properly, at a distance that suits her stride, rather than one that picks up prizes wherever she's pointed.

Her last win came at The Curragh in October 2024 — now 19 months ago — and her recent form makes for tough reading: she's gone through her last six races without a win, with the figures showing she hasn't troubled the judge seriously during that run. That kind of sequence would test anyone's patience. But she was only raced yesterday, which tells you the yard hasn't given up on her.

The most encouraging thread in her record is the partnership with Neve Bennett. Together, they've won 3 of their 9 races — that's 1 win in every 3, or 33% — which is a genuinely strong ratio and well above what you'd expect by chance. When Fahey's yard, which has sent out 3 winners this season, decides to put Bennett in the saddle, something is usually being planned. Her career started properly at Limerick in July 2024, and the progression to winning at a track as competitive as The Curragh just a few months later showed real improvement at the right moment.

The question now is whether she can find that form again. The distance profile is clear, the jockey partnership works, and the yard is active. She just needs things to click.
