Stumblin In

That sole win came at Tramore on 13 April 2025, and it matters more than the bare statistic suggests. Tramore is a tight, quirky track on the south coast of Ireland where not every horse gets comfortable, so winning there requires a horse to handle its particular demands. Whether that course suits Stumblin In in a way others don't is worth watching.

The most regular partnership in the saddle has been with Jack Doyle, who has ridden the horse in 5 of its 14 races and was aboard for that Tramore victory. Together they win 1 in every 5 races — a 20% win rate — which is actually a solid return and suggests the combination brings out the best in this horse, even if the overall record remains modest.

Recent form, however, makes for harder reading. The last six races have produced nothing better than a fifth place, with finishes of fifth, seventh, seventh, eleventh, and twelfth also in the mix. That is a run of six races without a win, and the numbers towards the bottom of those fields suggest the horse has been finding things tough. Having raced just yesterday, Stumblin In is clearly still active and in training — the team at Thurles has sent out four winners this season, so the yard is in decent enough form even if this particular horse is waiting on its moment.

At seven years old, Stumblin In is past the stage of being considered a work in progress. The Tramore win showed it can get the job done on the right day, and with Jack Doyle in the saddle that day, a repeat of that combination back at a track it has already conquered would be the most obvious route back to the winner's circle.
