Tina's Indian

There's a horse in Mark Fahey's yard in Co Kildare that seems to save its best for one particular track — and that track is The Curragh. Tina's Indian has won 2 races from 10 overall, a rate of roughly 1 in every 5, but drill into those numbers and a clear pattern emerges: both of those wins have come at The Curragh, from just 4 races there. That means this horse wins 1 in every 2 times it turns up at Ireland's most famous flat racing venue, which is an extraordinary hit rate for any horse at any level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The first of those wins came in August 2024, and the most recent arrived as recently as November 2025 — so this is not ancient history. Tina's Indian is five years old, currently active, and raced just yesterday, which tells you the team at Cloneygath are keeping this horse busy and in good form. Fahey's yard has been in strong shape this season, sending out 24 winners, so there's a healthy operation behind this horse.

Jockey Ronan Whelan has been the regular partner, riding Tina's Indian in 7 of its 10 races and picking up both wins in the process — that's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3.5 rides together, well above the horse's overall average. That kind of partnership tends to matter. A jockey who knows a horse's habits, quirks, and how it wants to be ridden can make a real difference, and the numbers here suggest Whelan brings something out of this one.

The recent form figures — 3-3-1-4-14-4 when read oldest to newest — tell an interesting story too. That "1" in the sequence is the November Curragh win, sandwiched between placed efforts. The 14th-place finish stands out as an outlier, the kind of bad day that happens to every horse, but before and after it Tina's Indian has been consistently competitive. At the shorter distances, between 5 furlongs and 6 and a half furlongs, it has won 1 from 3, suggesting it can be sharp and effective when kept to a fast, sprint-style trip. Put all of that together — course form, jockey continuity, an active yard — and the next time Tina's Indian heads back to The Curragh, it will be worth paying attention.
