The partnership with jockey Liam Quinlan is the standout detail here. In 10 races together, they've won twice — a win rate of 20%, or 1 in every 5 rides — which is double Toor Khov's overall record. That's a meaningful gap, not just a coincidence. Something about the combination clearly works, and when Quinlan is in the saddle, this horse runs to a noticeably higher level.
The most recent win came at Thurles in January 2026, just two months ago, so Toor Khov arrives at this point in the season with form that actually means something. The recent record — a win, a second, a fourth, and further back only once in the last six races — paints the picture of a horse in decent nick. Trainer Ms M Flynn, based at Stradbally in County Waterford, has had just one winner from the yard this season, so Toor Khov is carrying the flag for a small operation doing its best with what it has. When a yard that size gets a winner, it matters.
First trained to win at Tipperary back in May 2024, Toor Khov has taken nearly two years to add a second victory, which tells you the level is competitive and the margins are tight. But an eight-year-old still racing, still placing, still winning — that's not a horse that's given up. It's one that keeps turning up and making races interesting, which is more than most can say.
