Party Vibes

The most striking number in her profile is what happens when conditions turn soft underfoot. On wet or muddy ground, she has won 4 of her 5 races — an 80% win rate that is simply extraordinary. For context, even the very best racehorses rarely win half their races over a career. When Party Vibes gets her ground, she is close to unbeatable.

Her biggest win came at Cheltenham in December 2025 — one of the most famous racecourses in the world, where horses and reputations are made. Winning there, even five months ago, puts her in a different category. She typically competes at Class 3 level, one step below the elite races, and has won 3 of her 6 races at that level — exactly 1 in every 2. That's the profile of a horse who belongs at a decent standard and knows how to win when conditions suit. Her most regular jockey, David Bass, has won 2 of their 6 races together, a 33% win rate — a solid partnership by any measure.

Trainer Henry Daly, based in Ludlow, has sent out 17 winners already this season, so this is a yard in good form. But finding the right race for Party Vibes is currently the puzzle. With a rating of 124, she's good enough to be shut out of the easier races but not quite at the level where the top prizes are straightforward targets. Daly has mentioned entries at Ludlow, Exeter, and even the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham, and the honest summary is that the team are working hard to find the right opportunity — ideally three miles of racing on decent ground, not the wet stuff that has been her comfort zone. The fact they're having to hunt around is a backhanded compliment: she's simply too good for some races and not yet guaranteed to reach the very top tier.

Watch for her next run. A horse this consistent on the right ground, trained by a yard in form, is well worth following.
