Moments Of Joy
Moments Of Joy broke her duck at Leopardstown on 5 June 2025, and for a horse trained by
A P O'Brien — who has sent out 125 winners this season alone — that debut victory ought to have been the start of something bigger. Instead, the 3-year-old has gone 14 months without another win, picking up three places from her last six races but mostly finishing fifth or further back. She wins roughly 1 in every 8 races overall, which is respectable but hardly the kind of win rate you'd expect from a horse in one of Ireland's elite yards.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes Moments Of Joy worth watching, though, is that she clearly has a distance and conditions that suit her. Over 7 furlongs to a mile — the stretch where her winning run came — she has won 1 of 3 races, a 33 percent win rate that suggests something clicks when she gets that length of race. Her recent form has been patchy, but last season she ran well enough to finish fifth in the Fillies' Mile, a top-level race, behind Precise. The trainer sees enough in her to be mapping out trials for classic races like the Guineas or Oaks, which tells you the yard still believes there is a proper racehorse waiting to emerge. At three years old, there is time yet. The question now is whether she can string together some wins and prove that her Leopardstown victory wasn't a one-off.
