Kp's Ladyofknock

The Clonmel win stands as the defining moment of her career so far. Whether that track suits her particularly well remains to be seen, but it is the one occasion where everything clicked. Since then, her recent form reads as a mixed picture — a third place offering a glimmer, but also a tenth place and a couple of blank runs mixed in. For a 6-year-old, she is not getting any younger, and the window for improvement is narrowing.

One of the more curious threads in her story is her record alongside regular jockey Sean O'Keeffe. The two have been paired together six times without a win between them — 0 from 6 — which is the kind of combination that makes you wonder whether a change of rider might unlock something. That said, Fahey's yard has been in decent form this season, sending out 24 winners, so there is clearly ability in the team to get horses to perform. Whether Kp's Ladyofknock can tap into that remains the question. She raced just yesterday, which means she is very much an active runner still being campaigned — and occasionally, that persistence is exactly what it takes.
