Tara Power

Both of those wins have come at Dundalk, Ireland's all-weather track, where Tara Power has now raced 26 times. Winning 2 from 26 anywhere might not sound like much, but the fact that every single win this horse has ever produced has come at the same venue tells you something real: Dundalk suits Tara Power in a way that no other track does. The first win there came in November 2021, and the most recent — perhaps the most impressive detail in this profile — arrived on 28 February 2025, just 14 months ago. This is not a horse that won once and faded away. It came back and did it again at the same track, three and a half years later.

On normal ground, Tara Power finds its best form, going 2 from 26 on a standard surface — that same 1-in-13 ratio. And step the horse up in distance to between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, and the numbers improve further: 1 win from 7 races, which is closer to 1 in every 7 outings. For a horse with an overall record this thin, that is a meaningful uptick, and suggests stamina is quietly its friend.

Trained by Keith Henry Clarke out of Drumree in County Meath — a small yard that has sent out just one winner this season — Tara Power is ridden most regularly by Gavin Ryan, though their nine races together have not yet produced a win. The recent form reads 7-6-11-7-4 in the last five completed runs, so it is not winning right now. But it raced just one day ago, it is clearly still in training, and it still has unfinished business at Dundalk. For a horse that has made 49 appearances and won at the same track twice, that is not nothing.
