Luimneach
Luimneach has been a steady, mid-tier performer for trainer
Conor O'Dwyer's Friarstown yard, winning 3 of his 25 races—about 1 win in every 8 starts. At nine years old, he is an experienced campaigner, and there is clear chemistry between horse and rider when Aidan Kelly takes the reins. In seven races together, Kelly has steered him to victory twice, a win rate of roughly 1 in 3.5 races, which is notably better than his overall record and suggests they work well as a combination.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse runs best over the longer distances, from a mile and six furlongs up to two miles. Over that trip he has won 1 of 4 races, a 25% win rate that stands well above his career average. His most recent win came five weeks ago at Kilbeggan on 24 July 2026, a sign he remains capable of getting his head in front. His form over the past six races tells a mixed story—a second place just yesterday shows he is still competitive, but a fifth and an eleventh reveal that consistency remains elusive. Still, in a career stretching back to November 2022, when he broke his duck at Limerick, Luimneach has done enough to prove he is a useful horse at his level, one who can strike when the conditions and the pairing with Kelly align.
