The highlight so far came at Limerick on 31 March 2026, where Shirzan took its first career win — a result that puts a marker down and gives the team something to work with. Trained by P.G. Fahey out of Nurney in County Kildare, Shirzan is part of a yard that has sent out two winners already this season, suggesting things are ticking along nicely. Fahey's operation is not a large commercial powerhouse, so every winner counts, and Shirzan is clearly a useful member of the string.
The recent form reads 6-1-3-7 (most recent first), which tells an interesting story. The win and a third place sit in the middle of that sequence, bookended by a sixth and a seventh — so Shirzan has shown it can mix it with the right company on the right day, but has also had its off days. Raced just yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of its season, and with the Limerick win only six weeks behind it, confidence in the camp should be running reasonably high.
