Lady Bluebird

Her last six results read 2-1-5-7-11-12 — and you need to read that right to left. What looks like a modest sequence going backwards is actually a horse who has caught fire coming forward. After a run of poor finishes, she has turned things completely around, placing second and then winning outright in her two most recent races. The victory came at Tramore just three weeks ago, on 20 April 2026, and she was back out racing again only yesterday. That tells you the team are confident she is in the form of her life and want to strike while the iron is hot.

The partnership with amateur rider Mr E Finegan has been central to her career. He has been in the saddle for 17 of her 18 races and all three of her wins — a win rate of 18%, or roughly 1 in every 5½ races together. That kind of long-standing partnership between horse and rider matters more than it might seem. A jockey who knows every quirk of a horse, and has built trust over dozens of races, can be the difference between a place finish and a winner's enclosure.

Lady Bluebird's first career win came at Punchestown on New Year's Eve 2023, and her most recent came at Tramore in spring 2026. The gap between those two wins is not a sign of a horse going backwards — it is the record of a horse who was waiting for everything to click. Right now, it has. With her current momentum, a horse who has spent years being competitive without quite getting there is suddenly the one everyone wants to keep an eye on.
