Le Diablo
There is a horse who has taken the scenic route to the winner's enclosure, but Le Diablo finally got there — and in recent weeks has given every sign of building on it. The 5-year-old broke through at Clonmel on 14 April 2026, a result that came after seven races without a win. One win and one place from eight career races — roughly 1 in every 8 — tells you this is not a horse who wins often, but the timing of that Clonmel success matters more than the raw numbers.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by John Patrick Ryan out of Templemore in County Tipperary, Le Diablo is part of a yard that has been in fine form this season, sending out 21 winners. That kind of output from a trainer suggests a stable operating with confidence, and horses in that environment tend to benefit from the momentum around them. Ryan clearly knows how to find the right opportunity for the right horse.
What makes Le Diablo worth watching right now is the activity. Raced just one day ago and still only five years old, this is a horse in the middle of a campaign rather than at the end of one. The recent form — a win followed by a second place in the runs before that — suggests something may have clicked. Horses sometimes find their level after a few quiet efforts, and a sequence like that, coming off the back of some modest results, is exactly the kind of upturn that gets a yard excited.
