Fleur In The Park

Her recent form reads 2-5-2-1-2-3, and it paints the picture of a mare in good heart. The win in that sequence came at Wexford on 27 October 2025, and since then she has finished second, second, and fifth — never collapsed, never disappeared. She raced just one day ago, so she is very much in the thick of things right now, not a horse being aimed at something down the line but one who is actively competing week to week.

She does her racing out of Andrew Slattery's yard in Thurles, County Tipperary, and it is worth noting that Slattery has sent out 60 winners already this season — that is a busy, confident operation. When a yard is firing at that rate, the horses in it tend to be well-placed and well-prepared, and Fleur In The Park looks like one of the stable's dependable tools. Cian Quirke rides her most often, partnering her in 11 of her 16 races and winning 2 of them — roughly 1 in every 5.5 rides together, which mirrors her overall win rate and suggests they are a settled combination rather than a pairing that clicks only occasionally.

Her first win came at Roscommon back in September 2023, and she has kept finding the track since. At seven, she is old enough to know her job and experienced enough to be trusted in competitive company. She is not a horse making headlines, but she is the kind of dependable, consistent competitor that makes up the backbone of any good racing stable — and with a run just yesterday, there is clearly plenty more to come.
