Nancee Spain

That sole career win came at Roscommon in October 2025, and it arrived over a distance between one mile six furlongs and two miles — the kind of trip that asks a horse to settle, travel, and stay on all the way to the line. At those longer distances, she has won 1 from 6 races, which works out at around 17%, or roughly one in every six. That might not sound like a lot, but it's meaningfully better than her overall record and suggests she is finding her feet over a proper test of stamina rather than speed.

She is trained by Daniel McLoughlin, whose yard in Newbridge, Co Kildare has sent out 9 winners already this season — a solid return that suggests the operation knows how to place its horses in races they can win. Nancee Spain raced just a day ago, which means she is very much in the thick of things right now. Whether the yard are trying to build on that October win or simply keeping her ticking over, the fact she is racing regularly and hitting the frame as often as she is makes her worth watching as she heads into the next chapter of her career.
