Thelittleballerina
Thelittleballerina is barely getting started, but what a start it has been. This 5-year-old has raced just twice and already has a win and a place to show for it, giving her a record that most horses never get close to — one win from two races is as clean an introduction to racing as you could ask for.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That win came at Clonmel on 14 April 2026, just one day ago, so the memory is fresh and the momentum is real. She finished third on her first outing, then came back and won — which is exactly the kind of progression that makes a yard sit up and take notice. She did not need a long run of races to figure things out; she figured them out quickly.
She is trained by Ian Patrick Donoghue, based at Clonalvy in County Meath, and the stable is clearly in good form right now — 24 winners already this season is a serious number, suggesting this is a yard that knows how to get horses ready to run. Having Thelittleballerina win at Clonmel fits the picture of a team that is firing on all cylinders. With only two races on the clock and a win already banked, everything about her career so far points forward rather than back.
