Thrifty Of Digby

The most striking number in Thrifty Of Digby's record is at Roscommon, where it has won 2 of just 3 races. That kind of record at a specific track — two wins from three chances — is not a fluke. It suggests the horse genuinely suits the course, whether that's the shape of the track, the way it rides, or something else entirely. The fact that the most recent of those wins came just days ago, on 18 May 2026, tells you this is not a horse running on past glories.

Conditions matter too. On slightly soft ground — when there's a bit of moisture in the surface but nothing extreme — Thrifty Of Digby has won 2 of just 3 races, a remarkable 67% success rate. That kind of figure suggests the horse is genuinely well-suited to those conditions, and any trainer worth their salt will be watching the weather closely before committing to a run.

In the saddle, Shane Foley has been the regular partner, and the pair have a solid working relationship. Foley has ridden this horse 14 times and won on 3 occasions — roughly 1 in every 5 rides together — which mirrors the horse's overall win rate and suggests a settled, productive partnership rather than a jockey still figuring out how to ride it.

Behind the scenes, the yard of Mrs John Harrington at Moone in Co Kildare has sent out 54 winners this season alone — a serious operation producing serious results. Thrifty Of Digby is one part of a very busy and successful team, and given its current run of form, it would be no surprise to see this horse adding to that tally before long.
