That one win came at Bellewstown in July 2024, and it remains the sole occasion Lethimfly has reached the winner's enclosure. Twenty-one months is a long time to go without repeating a win, and the recent form figures — a second, a couple of unplaced runs, a third, and two further finishes in mid-field — suggest a horse that is competitive enough to threaten but not yet finding the way back to the front. The second-place finish is the most recent result, which at least points to a horse still in reasonable nick and doing something right.
Colin Keane, one of the sharper jockeys in Irish racing, takes the ride most often, partnering Lethimfly in five of its twelve races for that one win together — a 20% win rate when the two are paired, which is actually a decent return. The fact that Keane keeps coming back suggests the partnership is valued, even during a lean spell.
The yard behind the horse is Noel Meade's operation at Castletown in County Meath, one of the more experienced training set-ups in Ireland. Meade's team has sent out 41 winners already this season, so this is a busy, functioning yard that knows how to get horses ready to win. Whether they can unlock another winning run from Lethimfly is the question — the horse raced just 16 days ago and remains active, so the search for that second career win is very much ongoing.
