Amen Kate

She got her first win at Listowel back in September 2024, and has since added two more, including a win at Thurles in December 2025. That Thurles victory is the most recent marker of where she stands — a horse still winning races at a decent level, active and in training, last seen on the track just 17 days ago. Her recent form reads 15-1-–-1-3-4, which shows a mixed picture: two wins in the last six races, but also a 15th-place finish that sits a little awkwardly in the sequence. Every horse has days like that, and what matters more is that she has bounced back twice and found the winner's enclosure.

Behind her is Thomas Cooper's yard in Tralee, Co Kerry — a small, regional operation that has sent out 8 winners this season. That's not a factory stable turning out horses by the dozen; it's a tight team where individual horses get attention, and Amen Kate has clearly responded to it. Three wins from 9 races is exactly the kind of return a smaller yard builds its reputation on.

She hasn't raced for about 3 months since that Thurles win, but she is still active and presumably being pointed at something specific. Whether she can add to her tally will depend on what company she faces next, but a horse with a 33% win rate — 3 wins from 9 races — and a trainer in form is always worth a second look.
