Bartlemy Boy

That win came at Killarney on 12 May 2025, and it's worth noting that Killarney is a tight, turning track in County Kerry where horses who handle a bend well tend to thrive. Whether Bartlemy Boy has a particular affinity for the place remains to be seen — one win is one win — but he got the job done there when it mattered.

He hasn't raced in 70 days, which suggests a short, deliberate break rather than any prolonged absence. Trainer Michael Barry has had just one winner out of his yard this season, so Bartlemy Boy accounts for all of it. That's not a criticism — small yards operate differently, and when your only winner is a horse who has never finished outside the top three, you're doing something right. The question now is whether Bartlemy Boy can build on that Killarney win and show it was the start of something rather than the high point.
