Our Lucky Lady

That breakthrough came at Sligo on 24 October 2025, and it wasn't a fluke. Sligo is a tight, undulating track in the west of Ireland that tends to reward horses who try hard and stay honest rather than those with flashy natural talent — which makes it a fitting venue for a horse like this one. The win came over a distance of two miles or more, and that is where Our Lucky Lady looks most at home. In races at that longer distance, she has won 1 from 3, a win rate of 33 percent — meaning she wins roughly 1 in every 3 times she lines up when the trip is right. That is a very different horse from the one who has gone one for eleven overall.

She is trained by P G Fahey at Nurney in County Kildare, a yard that has sent out two winners this season. It is a modest operation, not one of the big powerful stables that dominates the headlines, which makes every winner matter. Our Lucky Lady raced just one day ago, meaning she is in the thick of an active campaign right now. Whether the Sligo win marked a genuine turning point or a one-off peak is the question worth watching. The evidence from her longer-distance form suggests there may be more in the tank — but she will need to prove it is repeatable.
