Kai Lung
There's something quietly impressive about a horse that wins on just its second attempt — but what really catches the eye with Kai Lung is who is standing in the other corner. Trained by Willie Mullins out of Muine Bheag in County Carlow, this 4-year-old is operating inside one of the most powerful racing operations in the world. Mullins' yard has sent out 220 winners already this season — a number that staggers belief and speaks to a training factory running at full throttle.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Kai Lung's own record is modest by comparison: 1 win and 2 places from 4 races, which works out at winning 1 in every 4 outings. That's actually a decent return for a young horse still finding its feet, and the placings suggest it is rarely far off the pace even when it doesn't win. The sole victory came at Naas on 25 January 2026, and since then the results column has been blank — three runs without adding to that tally. That's not unusual for a lightly raced 4-year-old working its way up the ladder, but it does mean the horse is currently chasing that second breakthrough.
What makes Kai Lung worth keeping an eye on is simple: being in the Mullins yard means this horse is getting every possible advantage. Mullins doesn't tend to run horses without purpose, and the fact that Kai Lung has raced just 4 times suggests a patient, measured approach. Raced just yesterday, it remains firmly active and in the mix. Whether the next win comes soon or takes a little longer, the backing of 220 winners' worth of training expertise is about as good a platform as any young horse in Ireland could ask for.
