That moment came over seven furlongs to a mile, the distance range where this horse clearly finds its best form, winning 1 from 3 races at that trip — which is a far healthier picture than her overall record of roughly 1 win in every 8 races. It suggests McCourt knows exactly how to place her when the conditions suit, and that October win at Dundalk was no fluke.
What keeps the interest alive is the sheer consistency of the placing. Five placed efforts from 8 races means All The Girls has finished in the frame more often than not — she is rarely out of the picture, just not quite getting her nose in front. Jockey James Ryan, who partnered her for 5 of those 8 races and was aboard for the win, has built a working relationship with the horse that clearly matters, and the fact that their combined record reads 1 win from 5 is actually a decent 20% win rate together, well above her overall average.
The recent form is a little harder to read: a third-place finish and an eighth in the last two outings, with the three runs before that unplaced, suggest she has been finding life tougher of late. Eight months is a long time since a win, and the last run — just yesterday — ending in eighth is not what the yard will have been hoping for. McCourt's stable has sent out 13 winners this season, so there is clear capability in the operation. The question now is whether All The Girls can rediscover the spark that made Dundalk in October look so convincing.
