Staysound Susie

There is something quietly admirable about a horse like Staysound Susie. She will not blow you away with flashy numbers — 3 wins from 25 races works out at roughly 1 win in every 8 — but she turns up, she competes, and she places more often than not. Eleven times she has finished in the frame without winning, which tells you she is rarely out of the game. She is five years old and still very much active, having raced just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her first win came at Tipperary in May 2024, which was a fitting place to announce herself given that her trainer, Andrew Slattery, is based just down the road at Thurles in County Tipperary. Slattery is clearly no small operation — the yard has sent out 60 winners this season alone, which is a serious tally and suggests a busy, well-run stable with horses genuinely capable of winning races. Staysound Susie is one of the quieter contributors to that tally, but a contributor nonetheless.

The most intriguing entry on her CV is a win at The Curragh in November 2025. The Curragh is Ireland's most famous flat racing venue, the place where the country's biggest races are run, so getting a winner there is a genuine mark of quality. It sits alongside her Tipperary debut win as evidence that she can perform when things fall right. Andrew Slattery rides her himself in most of her races — they have been paired up 15 times together, winning once — which is a nice detail, a trainer who clearly knows this horse well enough to take the reins personally.

Her recent form reads 6-3-5-1-9-3, and while the 9 stands out as a rough day at the office, the pattern either side of it is encouraging. Third, a win, then third again in her most recent outing — she has been knocking on the door consistently. With 60 winners going out of her yard this season and a trainer who has seen her at her best, the feeling is that Staysound Susie has at least one more good day in her yet.
