A Stoirin
There is a horse in Ireland right now that has only run twice in its life and already has a win and a place to its name — a remarkably clean start to any racing career. A Stoirin, a 4-year-old trained by
Andrew Slattery out of Thurles in County Tipperary, opened its account at Ballinrobe just days ago on 25 May 2026, and with a third-place finish also on the board, it has finished in the top three in both of its races so far. That is a record of 1 win from 2 races, which puts it in rare company among horses just finding their feet.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The trainer behind this promising start is no small operation. Andrew Slattery's yard has sent out 60 winners already this season, which tells you this is a stable that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. When a yard is firing at that kind of volume, the horses coming out of it tend to be well-prepared — so A Stoirin's debut win is not a fluke, it is the product of a team that clearly has things working well right now.
Two races is a tiny sample, of course, and it would be foolish to get carried away. But the fact that this horse has not had a single wasted run — finishing third on its first outing and winning on its second — suggests it has taken to racing quickly and naturally. Watch this space.
