The first win came at The Curragh in May 2025, one of Ireland's most prestigious venues, which is no small thing for a young horse still finding its feet. A second win followed at Dundalk in October, giving Andab victories on two very different tracks — The Curragh's sweeping, wide-open turf and Dundalk's tight all-weather circuit. Being able to handle both suggests a horse with a degree of adaptability that trainers value highly.
Dylan Browne McMonagle has been the regular partner, and the pair have clearly clicked. Together they've won 2 of their 6 races — a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in 3 — which is a strong return and suggests the jockey knows how to get the best out of this horse. Behind them in the background is trainer Joseph Patrick O'Brien, operating out of Owning Hill in County Kilkenny. With 153 winners already this season, O'Brien's yard is one of the most productive in Irish racing right now — so a horse that earns its place in that string is in very good company.
The most recent form (third, first, a run that didn't trouble the judges, then sixth, fourth, third going further back) shows a horse that has been largely competitive without always delivering its best. The win six months ago at Dundalk is the high point, and the yard will be hoping Andab can recapture that in the coming weeks. Racing just one day ago, the horse is clearly still very much in training and at the centre of plans.
