Follow Me

Follow Me is a horse that has found its home at The Curragh. The five-year-old has won 2 of its 5 races at the Dublin track—a win rate that stands out sharply against its overall record of 2 wins from 12 races. Both victories came within a month of each other in spring 2024, but the horse has not tasted success since May of that year, a drought now stretching nearly two years and six races. That makes the recent form especially sobering: third and third in its last two outings, bookended by finishes much further back—an eighth, a ninth, and a fourth before that. The horse is active and was last in action just over a week ago.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Trainer Ross O'Sullivan, who runs a productive yard in County Kildare that has already sent out 40 winners this season, views Follow Me as "a fair horse" capable of weaving through trouble when the racing gods turn against it. O'Sullivan believes the horse's struggles at Royal Ascot earlier this year stemmed from quick, firm ground—conditions that did not suit it—and he remains confident enough to target the Sovereign Path at the Irish Champions Festival. He is hoping the turf conditions will play in the horse's favour this time. That hints at a horse that, while lacking the consistency to win regularly, possesses enough ability to trouble the frame in decent company when everything aligns. The challenge now is whether it can rediscover the form that made it so effective at The Curragh two years ago.
