The recent form makes for interesting reading. Going back through the last six runs — a fall or exit, then a ninth, two seconds, a win, and a third — you get the picture of a horse that had found its level and then briefly lost its way. That win at Naas in February 2026, just two months ago, feels significant. Naas is a sharp, well-regarded track that attracts decent fields, and winning there suggests Goraibhmaithagat is operating at a reasonable standard. The first career win came at Navan back in December 2024, so this horse knows how to get its head in front, even if it has taken patience to get there.
The partnership with Mark Walsh is worth noting. Walsh is one of the most accomplished jump jockeys in Ireland, and the fact that he has ridden this horse six times suggests the yard trusts the combination. They have won together once from those six rides — roughly 1 in 6 — which is a solid return when you factor in how competitive Irish racing tends to be. Trainer C A Murphy, based in Gorey, Co Wexford, has sent out nine winners already this season, so this is a yard in decent form rather than one just hoping for the best. When a trainer keeps booking a high-profile jockey for the same horse, it usually means they believe there is another win in it. Given that Goraibhmaithagat raced just yesterday and is clearly being kept busy, that next opportunity may not be far away.
