Fingerpaint

There's a horse at The Curragh right now that knows how to make a moment count. Fingerpaint, a 4-year-old trained by Dermot Weld at his yard in Co Kildare, has only raced four times in total, but already has a win and two places to show for it — that's a podium finish in three of every four races, which is a remarkable conversion rate for any horse at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The one win came at The Curragh on 23 May 2025, which is also the track where Weld's operation is based. There's something fitting about that — Weld is one of the most respected trainers in Irish racing, and his yard has already sent out 24 winners this season alone, which tells you this is not a small or quiet operation. Horses from this stable tend to be well-prepared and placed carefully, so when they run, they usually mean business.

The recent form tells an honest story. Fingerpaint has finished 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 7th across the last four races — read in reverse, that's a horse that took some time to find its stride, then broke through with a win, then placed, then drifted back in the last two outings. That dip will interest anyone watching, but with only four races on the clock, this horse is still learning, and Weld's yard is exactly the kind of place where patient development tends to pay off. Fingerpaint raced just yesterday, so whatever comes next is very much in the present tense.
