Pink Oxalis

There is a horse in Stephen Thorne's yard in Rush, Co Dublin, that has quietly built one of the more dependable records in Irish racing over the past year or so. Pink Oxalis is a five-year-old with four wins and nine placed finishes from 24 races — meaning she has finished in the top three in more than half her career outings. That is not a horse who turns up and disappears; that is a horse who competes.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The partnership with jockey Jack Kearney is where things get particularly interesting. In 11 races together, Kearney has ridden her to three wins — that is roughly 1 in every 3.5 races, or a win rate of 27%. For context, most professional jockeys are delighted with 1 win in every 6 or 7 rides. When these two are paired up, something tends to happen.

Her record on slightly soft, damp ground stands out sharply from the rest of her form. In four races on that kind of surface, she has won twice — a 50% win rate, which is a coin flip rather than a horse race. In a sport where finding a horse's ideal conditions can feel like cracking a code, that number is striking. Over a distance of a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs, she has won 4 of her 14 races — just under 1 in 3 — which tells you her trainer has worked out exactly where to place her.

Her most significant win came at Leopardstown on 13 September 2025. Leopardstown is one of Ireland's most competitive venues; winning there means something. That victory was seven months ago, and since then her recent form reads 5-7-12-23-3 in reverse order — meaning she has had a mixed time of it, with a close third in her most recent outing suggesting she may be working her way back towards her best. The yard itself is in fine health, having sent out 24 winners already this season, so the support structure around her is clearly functioning.

Racing just yesterday, Pink Oxalis is an active, competitive horse in a stable that knows how to place a winner. If the ground softens up and Kearney is in the saddle, the record says pay attention.
