Colleen Danu

Her most recent win came at Clonmel just this week, on 14 May 2026, and it caps a stretch of form that has been genuinely encouraging. Looking at her last six races — a win, a seventh, a second, a fourth, a twelfth, and a fourth — you can see a horse that dipped badly at one point but has gradually pulled herself back into contention. That seventh and twelfth suggested things weren't clicking, but her two most recent results tell a better story: placed, then won. Horses that find a way back into form like that tend to hold your attention.

The career started properly at Gowran Park in November 2024, where she took her first win, but it is Clonmel that has become the track that suits her best. Whether it is the layout, the ground, or simply familiarity, two wins from five attempts at the same course is the kind of stat that means something — especially for a horse whose overall win rate suggests she makes you work for it most of the time.

She is trained by Patrick T Foley, based at Bagenalstown in County Carlow, and the yard has been in decent nick this season with 12 winners sent out. That sort of backing matters — horses trained at active, confident yards tend to arrive at the track in good order, and Colleen Danu arriving fresh off a win, with her handler in form, makes her worth watching whenever she heads back to a track she already owns.
