Luidgi Du Luy

The sole win came at Navan on 8 February 2026, a result that announced the horse to a wider audience and gave trainer Emmet Mullins another name to watch from his yard in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. Mullins has been in fine form this season, sending out 31 winners — that kind of volume from a yard means horses are fit, well-prepared and arriving at the track ready to go. That context matters: a debut winner from a cold or struggling yard is one thing, but a debut winner from an operation firing on all cylinders carries genuine weight.

With only two races to go on, it is too early to draw firm conclusions, but the recent form figure of 9-1 — read right to left, meaning the horse finished first on debut and ninth most recently — suggests the Navan victory was followed by a tougher assignment where things did not go quite so smoothly. That ninth-place finish stops this from being a straightforward fairy tale, but one run outside the places does not undo a promising foundation. Luidgi Du Luy raced just one day ago, so the team will have a clearer picture soon of where this horse fits and what comes next.
