Stoneyford Lady

That winning moment came at Thurles on 20 November 2025, and it has remained her only career victory to date — now five months ago. Darragh O'Keeffe, who has partnered her in seven of her 13 races, was the man in the saddle for that win. Together they have won 1 from 7, a rate of roughly 1 in 7, which is a decent return and suggests the partnership suits her.

Behind the scenes, Stoneyford Lady is trained by Henry De Bromhead at his yard in Knockeen, County Waterford. De Bromhead is one of the most respected names in Irish racing, and the scale of his operation is reflected in the numbers — 107 winners sent out this season alone. For a horse like Stoneyford Lady, sitting towards the quieter end of that roster, simply being part of such a yard means she is trained to a high standard and well placed to find the right opportunities.

Her recent form is worth a closer look. Reading from most recent backwards, the sequence goes a fall or non-finish, then eighth, then a win, then two runner-up finishes, then fourth. Strip out the bad run and you see a horse that was genuinely competitive across those middle efforts — winning one and finishing second twice in three races is a solid little purple patch. She raced just one day ago, so she is firmly in action and being kept busy.
