An Laochmor

There is a horse quietly putting together one of the more eye-catching recent runs you will find, and its name is An Laochmor. The five-year-old has only won 2 of its 19 races overall — roughly 1 in every 10 — which on paper looks modest. But zoom in on the last six outings and you get a very different picture: two wins, two seconds, and a third. That is the kind of consistent, front-running form that turns heads, and it suggests a horse that has genuinely found its feet.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Trained by Daniel James Murphy at his yard in Curragh, Co Kildare — a stable that has already sent out 19 winners this season — An Laochmor opened its account at Lingfield Park back in February 2026, then followed it up with a win at Dundalk just four weeks ago in April. Two wins in the space of six weeks tells you this is a horse in the form of its life right now, not one coasting along on old glories. It raced again just yesterday, which means the yard are clearly not letting any momentum go to waste.

One detail worth noting is the ground. An Laochmor has won 2 of its 5 races on normal conditions — 40%, or roughly 2 in every 5. That is a striking number. For context, most horses win far less than that even in their best circumstances. When the ground suits, this horse delivers.

The one puzzle in the story is its regular jockey, Leigh Roche. The pair have teamed up five times without a win between them, and yet An Laochmor has still managed to win races. That does not necessarily mean anything sinister — horses and jockeys can simply click differently on different days — but it is the kind of quirk that a sharp observer would flag. Whether the partnership finds its groove or the yard tries something different, it is one to watch.

An Laochmor will not be troubling the very top races in Britain anytime soon, and nobody is pretending otherwise. But a horse that wins 2 in 5 on its preferred ground, races frequently, and is currently finishing first or second in the majority of its outings is exactly the sort that rewards people who pay attention. Right now, this horse is in form, fit, and very much worth following.
