Rion Rubette

The first win came at Limerick in June 2025, which got things off the mark, but it is the most recent result that really catches the eye. Just this week, Rion Rubette won at Gowran Park — and with a run logged only yesterday, she is very much a horse in the thick of the action right now. That kind of quick turnaround suggests a team confident in how she is feeling.

The distance range of seven furlongs to a mile looks like her sweet spot. Over those trips she has won 2 of 7 races — nearly 1 in every 3 — which is a considerably stronger record than she shows at other distances. In a sport where finding a horse's ideal conditions can take months of trial and error, that sort of clarity is genuinely useful.

Wayne Hassett has been the jockey in the saddle most often, partnering her in 5 of her 16 races and winning 1 of those — a win rate of 1 in 5 together, which is actually better than her overall record suggests. That kind of familiarity between horse and rider can matter, particularly when a horse is still developing its consistency. The recent Gowran Park win, coming so close to her last outing, points to a yard that has found something they like about how she is running right now. Whether she can build on it will be worth watching.
