Amemri

That Dundalk win is not an isolated flash. Amemri's career began there too, with a first win on 24 March 2023, and the track has clearly suited from the start. But it is Limerick where the horse looks almost unbeatable — 2 wins from just 3 races there, a record that puts it firmly in the category of horses you want to follow when they turn up at a particular venue. Two wins from three at any track is the kind of ratio that makes people pay attention.

The partnership with jockey Luke McAteer is worth highlighting. In 26 races together they have won 8 times, which works out at 31% — roughly 1 win in every 3 rides. That is a genuinely strong number and suggests the two have developed a real understanding. When McAteer is in the saddle, Amemri tends to deliver.

Recent form shows a horse that has had its quiet patches — finishing 9th and 7th in a couple of runs — but the latest sequence ends with a win and a placed effort in the last two outings, which is exactly the kind of upturn that suggests momentum rather than luck. Marnane's yard is in good shape too, having sent out 16 winners already this season, so this is not a one-horse operation running on scraps — Amemri is part of a genuinely productive training set-up.

Ten wins from 45 races, a specialist track record at Limerick, a jockey who wins nearly one in three times they ride together, and a victory as recently as last week. Amemri is not a household name, but it is precisely the sort of horse that rewards people who follow it closely — consistent, course-savvy, and very much still in business.
